Every step explained — no skipped algebra.
Current accounts opened by females = 20000 × 17% × 35% = 1190
Savings accounts opened by females = 20000 × 38% × 50% = 3800
Salary accounts opened by females = 20000 × 8% × 45% = 720
Fixed Deposit accounts opened by females = 20000 × 18% × 55% = 1980
Recurring Deposit accounts opened by females = 20000 × 14% × 60% = 1680
NRI accounts opened by females = 20000 × 5% × 40% = 400
Total number of accounts opened by females = 1190 + 3800 + 720 + 1980 + 1680 + 400 = 9770
Final Answer: Option A — 9770
