A mismatch would trigger an error, requiring the user to review and correct the income figures.

For example, if the number is '2', the system must find completed details for 'Child 1' and 'Child 2'. This prevents discrepancies between the stated number of dependents and the details provided, ensuring all children are accounted for.
