A referndum on a proposal involved 3500 participants. Among the participants 1700 were men and the rest were women. 1450 participants, of whom 800 were men, voted against while 1500 participants voted in favour. 200 women abstained. How many women voted for the propsal?

Correct option is C

Solution:

Step 1: Given Data

• Total participants = 3500
• Men = 1700
• Women = 3500 - 1700 = 1800
• Participants who voted against = 1450 (of whom 800 were men)
• Participants who voted in favour = 1500
• Women who abstained = 200

Step 2: Find Women Who Voted Against

• Total participants who voted against = 1450.
• Out of these, 800 were men.
• So, women who voted against = 1450 - 800 = 650.

Step 3: Find Women Who Voted for the Proposal

• Total women = 1800.

• Women who abstained = 200.

• Women who voted against = 650.

• So, women who voted in favour = Total women - (Women against + Women abstained).

  = 1800 - (650 + 200)
  = 1800 - 850
  = 950.

Final Answer: (c) 950
