C. 35
D. 22

Answer 1

To find out how many people above the age of 30 are against the candidate, we need to look at the age groups of 31-40 and over 40.

From the table:

• For the age group 31-40, the number of people against the candidate is 50.
• For the age group over 40, the number of people against the candidate is 35.

Now, we simply add these two numbers together:

50 (age group 31-40) + 35 (age group over 40) = 85.

So, the total number of people above the age of 30 who are against the candidate is 85.

The answer is A. 85.
