None of these
Answer: Option B
Solution
Answer: Option B
Solution:
Let total votes in village = 100Losing candidate got votes = 30% of 100 = 30 votes
Winner's and nearer rival's votes
= 100 - × 100
= 70
∴ If both get equal votes then, it should be, 35
∴ Minimum difference between winner and nearer rival
= (36 - 34) = 2
