Correct answer: (A) 359415
Explanation
The answer is 359415.
Town F is 21.8 percent and equals 763000, so the total of all towns is 3500000.
Town A is 21 percent of 3500000, which is 735000.
The share of males in Town A is 100 minus 51.10, which is 48.9 percent.
So the number of males is 735000 times 48.9 percent.
That equals 359415.
So the answer is 359415.
