Explanation:

men who older than 25 years is 40%
no. of men who are at-most 25 years is 72000 i.e. left 60%. So total are = 120000
men older than 25 = 120000 x 0.4 = 48000

50% married = 48000 x 0.5 = 24000

40% are ones who do not have kids = 24000 x 0.4 = 9600

Man upto 25 age is 60%

Total man upto 25 age is =72000
Man above 25 age is=72000*40/60 = 48000
Man who is married is =48000*50% =24000

Man who has no kids = 24000*40%. = 9600 Answer

72000 men age < 25-year-old

40% of the men are above 25-years of age means 60% of the men are below 25 years of age

60% of men = 72000 men
40% of men= \(\frac{72000*40}{60}\)=48000 men of age above 25 years

Among these, 50% are married

married men = \(\frac{48000}{2}\)= 24000 men

Among this married men only 60% of men have at least one kid but we asked for the number of married men who do not have any kids that is 40% of married men

100%= 24000
40%= \(\frac{24000*40}{100}\) = 9600 men

40% of men are above 25 years old, so 100-40=60% men are below 25 years old.

Let total men be x
60% of x= 72000
x=120000

40% of x = 40% of 120000 = 48000
Men who are married= 50% of 48000 = 24000
Men who have atleast one kid= 60% of 24000=14400

Married men who don’t have kids= 24000-14400=9600

Answer: A
