Solution

The correct option is A 756
Fraction of the seats occupied by the audience $= \frac{5}{7}$

Number of people present = 540
$\frac{5}{7} \times Total number of seats = 540$

Total number of seats

= 540 ÷ $\frac{5}{7}$
= 540 × $\frac{7}{5}$
= $\frac{3780}{5}$
= 756

Therefore, there were 756 seats in the auditorium.
