The winning margin of a constituency is defined as the difference of votes polled by the winner and that of the first runner up. Which of the following CANNOT be the list of constituencies, in increasing order of winning margin?
Explanation:
Winning margin for
A = 2,75,000 – 95,000 = 1,80,000
C = 1,40,006 - 1,30,006 = 10,000
D = 5% of valid votes = 8,750
⇒ Winning margin for C is greater than that of D.
∴ Option (a) cannot be the list of constituencies, in increasing order of winning margin.
Hence, option (a).
