Solution
Total members = 240
Total males = 160
Total Females = 80
15% of males are graduates => 24 male graduates => 136 male non-graduates
75% of females are graduates => 60 female graduates => 20 female non-graduates
=> sum of the number of females who are graduates and the number of males who are non-graduates = 136 + 60 = 196
