A 12.45 lakh

B 4.875 lakh

C 6.25 lakh

D 1.27 lakh

E 2.39 lakh

Solution

Correct Answer: Option B

From the given data,

Number of votes acquired by A in 2012 (in lakhs) = 4.45

Number of votes acquired by C in 2012 (in lakhs) = 1.8

Required ratio of votes in 2013 (C : A) = 3 : 2

Total number of votes required by C in 2013 (in lakhs)\(= \;\frac{3}{2} \times 4.45\; = \;6.675\)

Number of votes required in 2013 than in 2012 (in lakhs) = 6.675 – 1.8 = 4.875
