Options:

9860

9870

9840

9850

Correct Answer:

9840

Explanation:

Number of member who did not cast their vote = (100% - 48% - 22%) of total votes  = 30% of total votes

ATQ ,

48% of Total number of votes = 15744

Total number of votes  =  \(\frac{100}{48}\) × 15744

Total number of votes = 32800

Number of member who did not cast their vote = \(\frac{100}{48}\) × 32800

= 9840
