In a village, three people contested for the post of Village Pradhan. Due to their own interest, all the voters voted and no one vote was invalid. The losing candidate got 30% votes. What could be the minimum absolute margin of votes by which the winning candidate led by the nearest rival, if each candidate got an integral percent of votes?

A) 4
B) 2
C) 1
D) 3
E) None of these

Correct Answer:


B) 2

Description for Correct answer:
Let total number of voters in village = 100

Losing candidates got number of votes

= 30 % of 100 = 100 x \( \Large \frac{30}{100} \) = 30

Remaining two candidates got number of votes = 100 - 30 = 70

Now by hit and trial, winning candidate got number of votes = 36

and the nearest rival got number of votes

= 70 - 36 = 34

Absolute margin of votes = 36 - 34 = 2
