Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 77 : 282.

Number of seats won by ConParty in 2014 = 43

Number of seats won by Kanta Dal in 2019 = 16

Number of seats won by Shiv party in 2019 = 18

Total number of seats won by the three parties in the respective years = 43 + 16 + 18 = 77

Number of seats won by AGP in 2014 = 282

Required ratio = 77 : 282
