Answer 1: (b)

The votes got by G in the first round = 0.4 million

and the votes got by G in the second round = 0.5 million

The required difference = 0.5-0.4= 0.1 million = 1 lakh.

D got 6 lakh votes in both rounds.

The correct option is (b)

Answer 3: (a)

The two candidates at the bottom of the first round are A and C and the lowest person among top five is G who got 0.4 million votes.

Hence, amount paid by A = (0.4 – 0.32) × 20 million = Rs 1.6 million

The amount paid by C = (0.4 – 0.2) × 20 million = Rs 4 million

Hence, the government will earn = 1.6 + 4 = Rs 5.6 million

The correct option is (a)

Answer 4: (d)

The votes secured by candidate E in the first round 1.12 million

The votes secured by candidate B in the second round = 2.6 million
