Solution

Total committee = 60

In favour = one fifth of the total

[tex]\frac{1}{5}\times60=12[/tex]

Against = one fourth of the total

[tex]\frac{1}{4}\times60=15[/tex]

The number that abstained = 60 - 12 - 15

[tex]\begin{gathered} 60-12-15 \\ =33 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore the correct answer is 33
