Solution

The correct option is A 30,000
Total populations = 50,000
The frequency of recessive allele character in total population is 40% of the total population
= 40/100×50,000
= 20,000
No of an organism having a dominant character = total population - recessive character
= 50,000- 20,000
=30,000
So the correct option is "30,000".
