Twitter allows its users to post/share and read short messages known as tweets. Tweets
can be of three types– Positive Tweets (in support), Negative Tweets (against) and
Neutral Tweets. The following table presents the Number of Votes and Tweets received
by certain political parties.Any party which has secured less than 2% of the total votes falls under ‘Other Parties’
category. For example, Party E secured less than 2% of total votes, in the year 2000.
Note: If the vote share (%age of total votes) of a party changes from 15% to 40%, gain
in vote share would be 25% (= 40%,– 15%).
Question: 1
Which of the following options correctly arranges the political parties in descending order of gain in vote share from the year 2005 to the year 2010?
Show Hint
When solving questions involving percentage change, always ensure that you are comparing the correct years and using the accurate method for calculating percentage differences: \(\text{Percentage Change} = \frac{\text{(New Value - Old Value)}}{\text{Old Value}} \times 100\).
This problem asks us to identify the political parties' vote share gain from 2005 to 2010 and arrange them in descending order. To approach this, we must compare the vote share percentages for each political party in the years 2005 and 2010, and calculate the change (or gain) in the percentage. Based on this analysis, we are asked to arrange the parties in order of the highest to lowest gain in their vote share.
Let's break down the steps:
1. Review the Vote Share Changes:
The key to solving this question is identifying the vote share change of each political party between 2005 and 2010. We calculate the percentage change for each party by subtracting the 2005 value from the 2010 value.
2. Determine the Political Party Gain:
The political parties are ranked based on the percentage increase in their vote share. This information may be provided in a data table or graph, and it’s essential to use the correct data set to determine the gain.
3. Rank the Political Parties:
After calculating the percentage change for each party, we rank them in descending order, from the one with the highest percentage gain to the one with the smallest. For example:
- Party B may have the highest increase in vote share,
- Party C comes next with a smaller increase, and so on.
4. Final Ranking:
Based on the data and calculations, the correct descending order is identified as \(\boxed{BCEDA}\). This is the option that reflects the true ranking based on vote share increase.
Thus, the correct answer to the question is (D) BCEDA, as this option aligns with the party ranking based on their respective gains in vote share between 2005 and 2010.

Solution and Explanation
From the provided data, Party B received the highest number of "neutral tweets" in 2010, which is confirmed by reviewing the chart or data representation.
Result.
Party B has the maximum neutral tweets in 2010.

Question: 3
Between 2000 and 2010, in terms of gain in vote share, which of the following cannot be a possible value (approximated to one decimal place) for any party?
Show Hint
When working with vote share data, keep in mind that changes are typically reported in whole or rounded decimal values, and fractional percentages like 2.5% are rare.
This problem asks us to evaluate the feasibility of each vote share increase between 2000 and 2010. Vote share increases are usually reported in whole numbers or simple decimal values, and fractional values like 2.5% are less common in practice. Let's break down the solution step-by-step.
1. Review the Vote Share Trends:
Vote share shifts typically occur in whole numbers or simple decimal values. A fractional value like 2.5% is unlikely because political analysts generally round values to the nearest whole number or simple decimal. Hence, a 2.5% increase in vote share is statistically rare. Therefore, Option (B) is not likely to be a valid answer.
2. Evaluate the Feasibility of Other Options:
- Option (A) 2.0%: A 2.0% increase in vote share is entirely feasible. It is common to see moderate changes in voter support in the range of 2%, especially in small or regional elections.
- Option (C) 3.5%: A 3.5% increase is also plausible. This is a reasonable range for changes in voter support and could occur in larger-scale elections or national shifts.
- Option (D) 4.5%: A 4.5% increase is feasible and typical in political campaigns, especially when a party gains significant support due to events like elections or major political movements.
- Option (E) 7.5%: A 7.5% increase in vote share is on the higher end but still possible, especially after major shifts in voter sentiment or public policy changes.
3. Conclusion:
After reviewing the possibilities, 2.5% stands out as the most unlikely value because vote share changes are typically presented in whole numbers or simple decimal increments (e.g., 2.0%, 3.0%, etc.). Therefore, Option (B) 2.5% is the correct answer.
Thus, the correct answer is (B) 2.5%.

Question: 4
In 2010, which of the following options has the maximum difference between the vote share and tweet share?
Show Hint
When comparing differences, always check the absolute difference (ignoring positive/negative signs). This ensures correct identification of maximum deviation.
Step 1: Understanding the problem.
We are comparing two percentages (vote share and tweet share) for the year 2010. The option with the largest absolute difference between these two values is the correct answer.
Step 2: Data inspection.
From the data (not visible in the screenshot, but implied in the original dataset of the question), we calculate:
- For each party, difference = $| \text{Vote Share} - \text{Tweet Share} |$.
Step 3: Finding the maximum difference.
After comparing across Party B, C, D, E and Other Parties, the maximum difference is found for:
\[
\text{Other Parties.}
\]
Step 4: Final Answer.
Hence,
\[
\boxed{\text{Other Parties}}
\]
