Detailed Solution
Given: In an election A received 11% of the votes and B received 145680 votes. 59% of the candidates
didn’t cast their vote to any of the party.
Formula: If A got a% votes and B got DAR citerence in the votes = (a b) % of Total votes
Calculation:
59% of the candidates didn't cast their votes
% of candidates cast their votes = 41%
Out of 41%, A received 11% votes, then B receives = 30% votes
Value of 30% is equal to 145680
30% = 145680
= 1% = 4856
= 100% = 485600
Hence, total % of votes that B received = 145680/485600 = 0.3 x 100 = 30%
