Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 57.
Given that
Three candidates contested an election and won 1136, 7636 and 11628 votes, respectively.
According to the question
The winning candidate gets votes = 11628
Total votes in election = 1136 + 7636 + 11628 = 20400
Hence, the required percentage = (11628/20400) × 100 = 57
