Votes polled (in lakh) for four IT companies A–D in six alternate months. Each person voted for exactly one company.
| Month | A | B | C | D |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| January | 1.5 | 2.5 | 3.0 | 4.0 |
| March | 1.0 | 3.0 | 2.0 | 4.0 |
| May | 1.0 | 1.0 | 2.5 | 3.5 |

| September | 2.0 | 2.0 | 3.5 | 4.5 |
| November | 3.0 | 2.0 | 1.5 | 4.0 |
In the month of September, the additional number of votes needed by A and B together to get 7% more votes than D is:
A91300
B81500 ✓ Correct
C14400
D71200
Correct answer: (B) 81500
Explanation
The additional votes needed are 81,500, so that is the answer.
In September A and B together have 2.0 plus 2.0, which is 4.0 lakh.
Company D in September has 4.5 lakh.
Seven percent more than D is 4.5 times 1.07, which is 4.815 lakh.
So A and B need 4.815 minus 4.0, which is 0.815 lakh.
0.815 lakh is 81,500 votes.
