How many electors in electoral college or a state with 40 members of the House of Representatives and two members of the senate have

A.16
B.14
C. 17
D. 2

The number of electors in the Electoral College for a state is equal to the number of members in the House of Representatives plus the number of members in the Senate.

In this case, there are 40 members in the House of Representatives and 2 members in the Senate. Therefore, the total number of electors would be:

40 (House of Representatives) + 2 (Senate) = 42 electors

None of the options given (16, 14, 17, or 2) match the correct answer.
