Who won the election?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Siva Raman.
We know that,
360° = 720 votes
So, 1° = 2 votes
Number of votes obtained by Yasin = 60 × 2 = 120
Number of votes obtained by Vishwanath = 100 × 2 = 200
Number of votes obtained by Siva Raman = 120 × 2 = 240
Number of votes obtained by Paramjit Kaur = 80 × 2 = 160
Hence, Siva Raman obtained the highest number of votes and won the election
