Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 36.67%.
Given:
Three candidates A, B and C contested an election and received 1800, 3300, 3900 votes
Calculations:
Total votes = 1800 + 3300 + 3900 = 9000
Required percentage = (3300/9000) × 100 = 36.666% or 36.67%
