In the Lok Sabha election, Party A got 30% of the total votes. Party B got 25% of the total votes. Party C got the remaining votes and they got 9000 more votes than Party A. Find the number of votes Party B got.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 15000.
Percentage of votes Party C received = 100% - (30% + 25%) = 100% - 55% = 45%
Percentage difference between Party C and Party A = 45% - 30% = 15%
Total votes = (9000/15) × 100 = 60000
Number of votes for Party B = (25/100) × 60000 = 15000
