Option D
is the correct answer.
Explanatory Answer
Total number of valid votes in 4 constituencies = 5,00,000 + 3,25,000 + 6,00,030 + 1,75,000
= 16,00,030
We can consolidate the data about the candidates who lost security in the below table:
Therefore, total number of votes polled by candidates who lost their security deposit:
45,000 + 2,76,250 + 0 + 61,250 = 3,82,500
% = (3,82,500/16,00, 030)* 100 = 23.9%
