In the Reebok factory, there are two units of workers, I and II, with a strength ratio of 2:1. The ratio of male to female in Unit I is 3:1, and in Unit II, it is 3:5. Workers from both units are arranged in rows of male and female, with each row having an equal number of workers. If the maximum number of workers possible in a row is 96, what is the difference between the number of males in Unit I and Unit II?.
