    A 20 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 24 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 22 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 18 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the number of people initially be 'n'.

    So, 55n - 53.5 × (n - 2) = 63 + 77

    Or, 55n - 53.5n + 107 = 140

    Or, 1.5n = 33

    Or, 'n' = 22

    Required number of people = 22 - 2 = 20
