Solution

Number of females patient in city A = 3/8 × 64 = 24

Number of females patient in city B = 4/9 × 54 = 24

Number of females patient in city C = 1/4 × 16 = 4

Number of females patient in city D = 5/12 × 48 = 20

Number of females patient in city E = 1/3 × 27 = 9

The total females = 24 + 24 + 4 + 20 + 9 = 81

Since the number given is in thousands = 81000

Average = 81000/5

⇒ 16200
