I do not fully understand why the state that only the male is alive is expected to have the largest reserve: The sum assured for the first death is 100,000 and that for the second death is 50,000. In this case, shouldn't the state that both lives are alive have the largest reserve? Because if we use the same argument that male is expecting shorter life than female, then with both lives alive, we are expected to pay a higher payout amount than the state that we only have the male live alive.
