    1. 16000
    2. 16400
    3. 16800
    4. 18000
Correct Option: C

Let the total number of voters enrolled be x.
Number of votes polled

= 75% of x =
3x
4

Number of valid votes
=
3x
-
2
×
3x
41004

=
3x
-
3x
4200

=
147x
200

Now, 75% of
147x
= 9261
200

or
3
of
147x
= 9261
4200

or x =
9261 × 4 × 200
= 16800
3 × 147
