Steps/Work
Let the ratio of men and women are 100 : k
Male eligible votes = 60 and female eligible votes = 70% (k)
Number of males who voted for A = 70% (60) = 42
Number of females who voted for A = 60%(70% (K) = 42% (k)
Percentage of votes got by A = 42+42100(K)60+70100(K)×100=4200+42K6000+70K×10042+42100(K)60+70100(K)×100=4200+42K6000+70K×100
So this value cannot be determined as the value of K is not known
Answer: B
Male eligible votes = 60 and female eligible votes = 70% (k)
Number of males who voted for A = 70% (60) = 42
Number of females who voted for A = 60%(70% (K) = 42% (k)
Percentage of votes got by A = 42+42100(K)60+70100(K)×100=4200+42K6000+70K×10042+42100(K)60+70100(K)×100=4200+42K6000+70K×100
So this value cannot be determined as the value of K is not known
Answer: B
