Direction: A constituency is divided in four regions A, B, C and D. Two candidates X and Y contested the last election from that constituency. The adjoining graph gives the break–up of voting in the four regions. Study the graph and answer the following questions.
-
Approximately how much percent of voters voted in favour of X?
-
- 45.4
- 47.5
- 50
- 225
Correct Option: B
According to given bar graph , we have
Total votes received by X = 45 + 73 + 51 + 56 = 225
Total votes in four regions A, B, C and D = (41 + 97 + 52 + 59) + 225 = 474
| ∴ Required percent = | × 100 | Total votes in four regions A, B, C and D |
| Required percent = | × 100 ≈ 47.5% | 474 |
