Answer:

1

Explanation:

Could this be a tricky question? See the point:

  1. 240 have 10 years experience (exactly)
  2. and 83 have over 10 years experience and a graduate degree
  3. Combining 1 and 2 the answer is 1

Though it's inlikely that the first 240 people have only 10 years. Don't take this answer very seriously
