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.

The number of votes received by the winning candidate in 2009 is what percent of the total number of votes received by all the other candidates together in that year?

• A. $66\frac{2}{3}$%
• B. $33\frac{1}{3}$%
• C. 60 %
• D. 40%

Answer 1

The correct option is A $66\frac{2}{3}$%

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

Similarly,

Winning candidate D received 40% of the total votes in 2009.

Required percent =$\frac{40}{60}$ × 100 = $66\frac{2}{3}$ %
