Let the distribution of votes for each of the proposal be as given below.
From the information given, we know that
Terms And Service:We do not guarantee the accuracy of available data ..We Provide Information On Public Data.. Please consult an expert before using this data for commercial or personal use
From the information given, we know that
a+b+c+d+e+f+g = 78 --- (1)
a+b+e+f = 50 ---- (2)
b+c+f+g = 30 ---- (3)
e+f+g+d = 20 ---- (4) and
f = 5 --- (5)
We need to find b+e+g+f = ?
In the above equations, (2)+(3)+(4) - (1) implies
(a+b+e+f)+(b+c+f+g)+(e+f+g+d) - (a+b+c+d+e+f+g) = 50+30+20-78 = 22
Or, b+e+g+2f=22.
As, f = 5, it implies that b+e+g+f=17
