16800
15800
16700
15700

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Let the total number of votes enrolled are x.
Number of votes cast = 75% of x
Valid votes = 98% of 75% of x

Now, as 9261 is the 75% of valid casted votes so,

75% of 98% of 75% of x = 9261 [imporant]

\begin{align}
=> \frac{75 \times 98 \times 75 \times x}{100 \times 100 \times 100} = 9261 \\

=> x = 16800
\end{align}
