Question

The number of votes obtained by B in S2 is:

• A. \(5\)
• B. \(7\)
• C. \(4\)
• D. \(6\)

Hint:

- Use the total number of votes and the constraints about B’s increasing order to deduce the number of votes in each constituency.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Analyzing the votes distribution in S2.
In S2, C won, so C must have obtained the highest number of votes in S2.
B's votes are distinct, and the total votes for B across all constituencies is 35.
The increasing order of B’s votes is: \(B(S1)<B(S2)<B(S3)<B(S4)<B(S5)\).
Since S1 has the fewest votes for B, B’s votes in S2 must be greater than in S1 but still less than in S3.
From the total votes, we can deduce:
B's votes in S2 must be \(6\) as it fits the increasing order and matches the constraints given.
Thus, the correct answer is \(6\).
