What is the difference between the total number of men in Mumbai and Pune together and the number of women in Jabalpur and Bangalore together?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 910.

Men in Mumbai and Pune = [(3/7) × 1547] + [(5/6) × 1818] = 663 + 1515 = 2178

Women in Jabalpur and Bangalore = [(5/9) × 1089] + [(3/7) × 1547] = 605 + 663 = 1268

Difference = 2178 - 1268 = 910
