Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
First, calculate the percentage of students without low income in College C: 100% - 24% = 76%.
Next, find the number of students without low income: 5000 * 0.76 = 3800.
Then, use the male-to-female ratio (2:3) to find the number of males. Males represent 2/5 of this group.
Finally, calculate (2/5) * 3800 = 1520.
