Solution

The correct option is B
b

We do not have any information as regards the number of contesting candidates

Statement (I) would not tell you whether X received more than 40% of the votes cast

Statement (II) makes it clear that X did not receive 12,000 or more votes. Thus, the question is answered in the negative.
