Question

The first line graph represents the total number of voters who cast their votes in three different elections, i.e., in 2009, 2014, and 2019 . The second line graph represents the percentage of the number of votes received by five candidates A, B, C, D, and E in the given elections.



The candidate with the highest number of votes in a year won the election.

​​​​​​​

In the elections of 2019, if the total number of votes received by candidates B and C together were given to candidate D, then what is the difference between the number of votes received by candidates A and D in the same election?

• A. 286000

Answer 1

The correct option is A 286000

For Candidate A, number of votes received in 2009 = 30% of 260000 = 78000

Similarly

In the elections of the year 2019:

Percentage of the number of votes received by candidate A = 20%

Percentage of the number of votes received by candidate D = (5 + 50 + 20)% = 75%

Required difference = (75 – 20)% of 520000 = 55% of 520000 = 286000

Hence, 286000 is the answer.
