• A. 40
• B. 50
• C. 45
• D. 38

Answer 1

The correct option is A 40

Number of women voters in village A $=80\%of1400$
$=\frac{80}{100}\times 1400=1120$
​
Number of women voters in village B $=60\%of1800$
$=\frac{60}{100}\times 1800=1080$​
​
Difference in number of voters
= 1120 – 1080
= 40 women
