Answer 1

Hey mate ^_^

=======
Answer:
=======

Total number of female members = $115$

Let the number of males be $x$

Number of females be $y$

$x + y$= 115 $---- (1)$

According to the given data,

$x + y(0.50) = 69 ---- (2)$

From (1) & (2),

We get,

$0.5y = 46$

$y = 46 × 2 = 92$

$x = 115 - 92 = 23$

Hence,

The required number of gentlemen in the family,

$x= 23$

Therefore,

Correct option A) 23
