- A35
- B45
- C55Correct
- D60
Explanation
To find the number of Indian women, we first calculate the total number of Indians. Out of 300 participants, 120 are foreigners, so there are 180 Indians.
The problem states there are 160 Indians who are men or judges. To find the Indians who are neither men nor judges, we subtract this from the total Indians: 180 minus 160 equals 20. These 20 people must be women who are not judges.
The problem also states there are 35 women judges.
To find the total number of Indian women, we add the women who are not judges to the women who are judges: 20 plus 35 equals 55.
Therefore, 55 Indian women attended the meeting. The correct option is C.
