Study the given table and answer the question that follows.

The table shows the number of voters at three different centres A, B, C.

Centre	Total number of registered voters	Percentage of people who voted (Out of the total number of registered voters)
A	4600	78
B	5400	70
C	6500	85

Number of people who did not vote at centre B is what percentage more than those who did not vote at centre C?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. $66{2\over13}$ %.

According to the given table,

The number of people who did not vote at center B = 30% of 5400

⇒ 30 × 54 = 1620

The number of people who did not vote at center C = 15% of 6500

⇒ 15 × 65 = 975

Difference = 1620 - 975

⇒ 645

Required percentage = ${645 \over 975} \times 100$ = $66{2\over13}$

Hence number of people who did not vote at centre B is $66{2\over13}$ % more than those who did not vote at centre C.
