Correct Answer: 114500


Solution : Total Hindi newspaper readers during January, February, and April taken together = $\frac{65}{100}×140+\frac{70}{100}×150+\frac{90}{100}×75$
= 91 + 105 + 67.5
= 263.5 thousand
Total English newspaper readers during March, May, and June taken together = $\frac{60}{100}×130+\frac{50}{100}×110+\frac{20}{100} × 80$
= 6 × 13 + 5 × 11 + 2 × 8
= 78 + 55 + 16
= 149 thousand
The difference between the number of Hindi newspaper readers during January, February, and April taken together and that of English newspaper readers during March, May, and June taken together = [263.5 – 149 ] × 1000
= 114.5 × 1000 
= 114500
Hence, the correct answer is 114500.
