The second statement is comparing the increase in life expectancy between two time periods.
Between 1900 and 1940, males life expectancy increased from 46.3 in 1900, to 60.8 in 1940. The increase is 60.8 - 46.3 = 14.5
On the other hand,
Between 1940 and 1980, males life expectancy increased from 60.8 in 1940, to 70.0 in 1980. The increase is 70.0 - 60.8 = 9.2
Statement II states: The increase in the life expectancy at birth for males was greater from 1940 to 1980 than it was from 1900 to 1940.
Is this true? We determined it was not because from 1940-1980 the increase in male life expectancy was 9.2 years, while from 1900-1940 it was 14.5 years. Since 9.2 < 14.5, statement II is false.
Hope this helps, Kudos appreciated
