• A. 64
• B. 82
• C. 74
• D. 72
• E. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is D 72

British passengers $=\frac{1200\times 18}{100}=216$
Females $=\frac{216}{4}=54$
Males $=216-54=162$
Passengers from Madagascar $=\frac{1200\times 6}{100}=72$
All of them are males.
Passengers from South Africa $=1200\times \frac{2}{5}=480$
Males $=240$ , Female $=240$
Indian passengers $=1200-216-72-480=432$
Females $=432\times \frac{2}{3}=288$
Males $=432-288=144$
Required difference $=144-72=72$
