What proportion of staff are in technical and sales versus support?

• A. About half in technical; About half in support
• B. About two-thirds in technical and sales; About one-third in support
• C. Mostly support with a few technical
• D. All staff are in technical and sales

Answer: (B)

This question is about how staff are distributed across departments, specifically the share in technical and sales versus support. The correct statement says about two-thirds of staff are in technical and sales, while about one-third are in support. That reflects a common structure where most people are in product development, engineering, and revenue-driving roles, with a smaller portion in support functions that enable and maintain those activities.

For example, if there are 100 staff, roughly 66 work in technical and sales, and about 34 in support. Other options imply an unrealistically even split or an overwhelming majority in one area, which doesn’t match typical organizational patterns where technical and sales dominate.
