What BEST can be concluded about the number of votes polled by the winning candidate in constituency C?
Explanation:
None of the candidates who contested in constituency C lost their security deposit. The difference in votes polled by any pair of candidates in this constituency was at least 10,000.
Total votes polled in C is 6,00,030.
∴ The last candidate (C5) received more than one-sixth of 6,00,030.
Minimum votes polled by C5 = 1,00,006 C4 = 1,10,006 C3 = 1,20,006 C2 = 1,30,006 C1 = 1,40,006
Once we add all these minimum votes polled, the sum is 6,00,030.
∴ Votes polled by the winner is 1,40,006.
Hence, option (a).
