b. How many total votes are there in the system?

c. What is the quota for the system?

d. How many votes does P1 have?

Answer: The answer is as follows:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the weighted voting system 12: 8, 6, 3, 3, 1

(a) There are 5 players who cast there votes:

P1 : 8 votes

P2: 6 votes

P3: 3 votes

P4: 3 Votes

P5: 1 Votes

(b) so, there are 21 votes in total.

(c) Here, quota means that for a meaningful weighted voting, quota is the majority of votes for a decision to be made. So, quota must be more than half of the total number of votes for making any decision.

∴ Quota for this question = 12

(d) Player 1 (P1) is having maximum number of votes and that is 8 votes.
