Answer: 231 thousand

Explanation:

given,

total number of undergraduate students enrolled = 414000

let us take number of total number of male students as, X

then, total number of female students will be X + 48000

now we get,

total number of male students + total number of female students = total number of students enrolled.

X + (X + 48000) = 414000

X + X + 48000 = 414000

2X = 414000 - 48000

X = 366000/2

X = 183000

total number of male students is 183000

total number of female students is

X + 48000

183000 + 48000 = 231000
