Given:

Professors added in 2019 = 100

Professors added in 2020 = 150

Professors added in 2021 = 180

Professors added in 2022 = 200

Associate Professors added in 2019 = 110

Associate Professors added in 2020 = 140

Associate Professors added in 2021 = 190

Associate Professors added in 2022 = 220

Formula used:

Difference = Total professors added - Total associate professors added

Calculations:

Professors added from 2019 to 2022:

⇒ 100 + 150 + 180 + 200 = 630

Associate professors added from 2019 to 2022:

⇒ 110 + 140 + 190 + 220 = 660

Difference:

⇒ 630 - 660 = -30

∴ The correct answer is option (1).
