Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option D

Centre 4

Solution :

The correct option is Centre 4.

To find the voting centre with the maximum number of people who voted, we calculate the actual number of votes cast at each centre. This can be calculated using the formula:

Number of Votes Cast=Total Registered Voters×Percentage of People Who Voted100

Let's calculate the votes cast for each centre individually:

1. Centre 1:
Total Registered Voters = 26,000
Percentage of voters who voted = 70%
Number of votes cast = 26000×70100=18200

2. Centre 2:
Total Registered Voters = 28,000
Percentage of voters who voted = 60%
Number of votes cast = 28000×60100=16800

3. Centre 3:
Total Registered Voters = 25,000
Percentage of voters who voted = 80%
Number of votes cast = 25000×80100=20000

4. Centre 4:
Total Registered Voters = 30,000
Percentage of voters who voted = 76%
Number of votes cast = 30000×76100=22800

Comparing the total votes cast at each centre:
- Centre 1: 18,200 votes
- Centre 2: 16,800 votes
- Centre 3: 20,000 votes
- Centre 4: 22,800 votes

Therefore, Centre 4 has the maximum number of voting with 22,800 votes.
