City-wise population by males, females and transgenders in five cities A–E (some values are percentages, some are numbers).

City	Males	Females	Transgenders
A	45%	30%	2000
B	50%	3000	35%
C	8000	35%	15%
D	45%	3600	25%
E	38%	32%	4200

The male population of City E is how much more than the female population of City A?

A2900

B2840

C2980

D2920 ✓ Correct

Correct answer: (D) 2920

Explanation

The answer is 2920.

In City A the transgenders are 100 minus 45 plus 30, which is 25 percent, and this equals 2000, so the total is 8000.

So the females in A are 30 percent of 8000, which is 2400.

In City E the transgenders are 100 minus 38 plus 32, which is 30 percent, and this equals 4200, so the total is 14000.

So the males in E are 38 percent of 14000, which is 5320.

The difference is 5320 minus 2400, which is 2920.

So the answer is 2920.
