• A. 340
• B. 420
• C. 350
• D. 460
• E. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is E None of these

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 $=432-288=144$
Total number of male passengers from Britain and female passengers from India together $=162+288=450$
