Instructions

The pie chart shows the votes in 1000s polled in favour of six candidates (A, B, C, D, E, F) contesting for a particular seat. Study the diagram and answer the following questions.

Question 49

Analysts believe that if candidate E had not stood in the fray then votes that he got would have been equally divided between F and C, then what would have been the result?

Solution

E got 16000 votes

16000 votes should be divided between F and C i.e; 8000 each

then F has 21000+8000 = 29000 votes

C has 6000+8000 = 14000 votes

now,

A = 27000

B = 11000

C = 14000

D = 9000

F = 29000

F would be the winner with a majority of 2000 votes

So the answer is option B.
