  1. A. 800
  2. B. 2100
  3. C. 4200
  4. D. Cannot be determined due to insufficient data

Correct Answer: C. 4200

Explanation

Total population = 10000. Males = 5000. Total readers = 0.3 \times 10000 = 3000. English readers = 3000 / 3 = 1000. Female English readers = 0.2 \times 1000 = 200. Male English readers = 1000 - 200 = 800. Males who do not read English Newspaper = Total Males - Male English readers = 5000 - 800 = 4200.
