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