total no. of people = 12 Let, the no. of women be "x" Also, the question says, there were 4 more man than women. So, total no. of men = 4 + x
Now, according to the question, x + (4 + x) = 12 2x + 4 = 12 2x = 12 - 4 x = 8 / 2 x = 4
Now, x + 4 = (4) + 4 = 8
So, there were 4 women and 8 men in the jury

There are 8 men on the jury and 4 women. This is found by setting the number of women as x and creating the equation based on the total of 12 people, which simplifies to find the values for men and women. Therefore, 8 men is the correct answer.
