MALE FEMALE Total
CAR 29 21 50

NO CAR 14 16 30
--------
TOTAL 80

Now u got that..good wrk..

Pick C
Let X be the no. of cars bought.

No. of cars bought by female : 0.42 X = 42/100 * X = 21/50

We know that X <= 80

So, No. of cars bought by female : 21/50 * 50 = 21 ( As the number of females need to be integers)

But if u want to debate, then that becomes a alltogether different question...

From there, draw thye matrix, find the remaining data..
