A state legislature had a total of 96 members. The members who did not vote on a certain bill consisted of 25 who were absent and 3 who abstained. How many of those voting voted for the bill?

1) Exactly 1/3 of the total membership of the legislature voted against the bill.
2) The number of Legislators who voted for the bill was 8 more than the total number who were absent or abstained.

The OA is D
