The correct answer is [D]

- Total patients attending the clinic in a week = 63 + 81 + 110 = 254
87 + 74 + x = 226 (given)
Y + 56 + 59 = unknown
If the total was 623 (given)
- Then on Friday we had 623- 254 – 226 patients = 143
- Male patients on Friday = 143- 56- 59 = 28
- Total male patients =63 + 87 + 28 = 178 patients
- Total children patient = 110 + x + 59
- For the value of x
226- 87 -74 = 65
= 110 + 65 + 59 = 234
- Difference between male patients and children patients = 234 -178 = 56
