Correct Answerसही उत्तर
B. 20,000 / 20,000
Explanationव्याख्या
Votes cast = 90% of total.
Valid votes = 95% of 90% = 85.5% of total.
Winning margin = 60% − 40% = 20% of valid votes, so margin = 20% of 85.5% = 17.1% of total.
If 17.1% = 3,420, total voters = 20,000.
डाले गए मत = कुल का 90%।
वैध मत = कुल का 85.5%।
जीत का अंतर वैध मतों का 20% अर्थात कुल का 17.1% है।
17.1% = 3,420, अतः कुल मतदाता = 20,000।
