• A. 162
• B. 360
• C. 266.4
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A

162

In 1989,out of 800 million people, 60 percent were eligible to vote, out of them, around 75% turned up for voting, out of those 75%,only 45% voted for the party. Hence the number of votes secured by the party=$\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)$$\times$$\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)$$\times$$\left(\frac{45}{100}\right)$$\times$800=162mn.
