Initially number of voters = 800
Let initially number of voters (for) = x
Initially number of voters(against) =y
x + y = 800
Now
1/3 of for voters are abducted , also the strength of against voters increase by 100% i.e. they become double
For Against
2x/3 - y 2y
given 2y = 50% of (initial)
= 1/2 . 800 = 400
y = 200 and so x = 600
Now for voters = 2x/3 - y = 2/3 . 600 - 200 = 200
2y = 2 x 200 = 400
So now voters (for) = 200
Voters (against) = 400
