a = men

b = women

 so a+b = 492

84 more men (a) then women (b)

 so a = b +84

Answer:
B
a + b = 492
a = b + 84

Explanation:
We have number of men is a and number of women is b
We are given that:
Total number of men and women is 492. This means that:
a + b = 492 .........> equation I
There are 84 more men than women. This means that:
a = b + 84 .......> equation II

Comparing these equation to the choices, we will find that the right choice is B

Hope this helps :)
