Solutions:

1st Question

     Number of invalid votes by the female voters = number of votes polled by the females- number of valid votes polled by the females.

= (453-226)-187=227-187=40 millions.

The required percentage=(40/227)X100=17.6%

ans:- Choice 3

2nd Question

 Valid votes in 1995= valid votes polled by males+valid votes polled by females= 233+219=452.

Valid votes in 2000=269+254=523

Percentage increase= (523-452)/452 X100= 15.7%

Ans:- Choice 1

3rd Question

 Invalid votes= total number of votes polled - total number of valid votes polled by males and females.

Invalid votes in 1985= 453-(187+196)=70.

The required ratio in 1985= 70/453=1/6

Similarly the required ratio in 1990= 72/503=1/7

In 1995=131/583= 1/4

In 2000= 148/671=1/4

1/7 is the least. Hence the required percentage is the least in 1990.

Ans:- Choice 2

4th Question

 Number of invalid votes polled by males= 329-254=75 millions.

Number of invalid votes by the females=(671-329)-269)= 73 millions.

The required difference = 75-73= 2 millions.

Ans:- Choice 1

5th Question

The ratio of number of votes polled by males to the total number of votes polled will hold good for a comparison of the ratio of the number of votes polled by males to that polled by female.

Therefore the required ratio In 1985 = 226/453 = 1/2

In 1990 = 248/503

In 1995= 281/583

In 2000= 329/671

226/453 is much closer to half where as other fractions are much less that 1/2.

Hence the ratio in 1985 was the greatest.

Ans:- Choice 1
