Study the following graph for answer these questions.

The bar graph shows the performance of 3 political parties A, B and C in terms of votes acquired in the elections in a constituency during 2012- 2016

Question 147

How many more votes are requiredby C in 2017 than in 2016 to make the ratio of votes with A, 3:2, keeping the votes of A same as in 2016 ?

Solution

Votes for party A in 2017 are to be taken the same as in 2016, which is 4.15
We want the ratio of C:A to be 3:2, for this, C would require:

$$\frac{C}{4.15}=\frac{3}{2}$$
$$C=6.225$$

C would require 6.225 lakh votes in 2017
In 2016, C got 1.5 lakh votes. Hence, C would need 6.225-1.5 = 4.725 lakh votes.

Therefore, Option B is the correct answer.
