3 candidates in an election and received 3136, 7636 and 11628 votes respectively. What % of the total votes did the winning candidate got in that election?
Options:
(A) 45%
(B) 49%
(C) 52%
(D) 59%
(E) 61% Hmmm, my stream of consciousness:
Total number of votes polled = (3136 + 7636 + 11628) = 22400
So, Required percentage = 11628/22400 * 100 = 52% So, the answer is (C).
