Correct Answer: (2)

Solution: (2)

Male students :

Mumbai $\Rightarrow 96000 \times \frac{28}{100} \times \frac{4}{7}$ $=15360$

Chennai $\Rightarrow 96000 \times \frac{20}{100} \times \frac{7}{12}$ $=11200$

Delhi $\Rightarrow 96000 \times \frac{11}{100} \times \frac{6}{11}$ $=5760$

Total male students $=15360+$ $11200+5760=32320$

Female Students :

Mumbai $\Rightarrow 96000 \times \frac{28}{100} \times \frac{3}{7}$ $=11520$

Chennai $\Rightarrow 96000 \times \frac{20}{100} \times \frac{5}{12}$ $=8000$

Delhi $\Rightarrow 96000 \times \frac{11}{100} \times \frac{5}{11}$ $=4800$

Total female students $=11520$ $+8000+4800=24320$

Difference $=32320-24320$ $=8000$
