Answer the questions on the basis of information given below.
Twitter allows its users to post/share and read short messages known as tweets. Tweets can be of three types – Positive Tweets (in support), Negative Tweets (against) and Neutral Tweets. The following table presents the Number of Votes and Tweets received by certain political parties.
* Any party which has secured less than 2% of the total votes falls under ‘Other Parties’ category. For example, Party E secured less than 2% of total votes, in the year 2000.
Note: If the vote share (%age of total votes) of a party changes from 15% to 40%, gain in vote share would be 25% (= 40%, – 15%).
Between 2000 and 2010, in terms of gain in vote share which of the following cannot
be a possible value (approximated to one decimal place) for any party?

From the table, we can see that 2 and 7.5 are possible values.
Party E’s votes in 2000 are less than 2% of the total votes as given in the question. Thus, the Gain in vote share will be between 3 and 5%.
Thus, only 2.5% is the option that is not possible.
Hence, option B is the answer.
