Correct answer: (B) 1801786
Explanation
The answer is 1801786.
Using the total of 3500000, the females are found town by town.
They are 375585 in A, 197372 in B, 437976 in C and 289982 in D.
They are 125475 in E and 375396 in F.
Adding all six gives 375585 plus 197372 plus 437976 plus 289982 plus 125475 plus 375396.
That total is 1801786.
