Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 1350
The total number of votes = 15000
Valid vote = 100 × (100 - 19)/100 = 81
So, valid vote = 81% of 15000 = 12150
Ratio of Seema ang Geeta = 4 : 5
Difference between Seema and Geeta's vote = 5 - 4 = 1
So, Difference in vote = 15000/(4 + 5) × 1 = 1350
