Solution
The correct option is D 12,501
To win an election, a candidate requires a certain quota of votes. These votes are calculated by dividing the total number of valid votes divided by two and further adding one to it.
In this case, the total number of valid votes is 25,000, which, when divided by 2, gives 12,500 as the answer. Further 1 is added to it, making it 12,501.
