A) 102,000	B) 150,000	C) 234,000	D) 252,000	E) 288,000
Let total number of eligible voters= x   Number of people who voted = (68/100)*x   Percentage of women of people who voted = 48 %   Therefore Percentage of men of people who voted = 52 %   (52/100)*(68/100)*x = 53040   =&gt; (13/25)*(17/25)*x = 53040   =&gt; x = 1,50,000   Answer 150,000
