Correct answer: (B) 2850 votes

Total votes = 15000. Invalid votes = 5% of 15000 = 750. Valid votes = 15000 - 750 = 14250. Winner's votes = 60% of 14250 = 8550. Loser's votes = 40% of 14250 = 5700. Winning margin = 8550 - 5700 = 2850 votes.

सही उत्तर: (B) 2850 मत

कुल मत = 15000। अवैध मत = 15000 का 5% = 750। वैध मत = 15000 - 750 = 14250। विजेता को मिले मत = 14250 का 60% = 8550। पराजित उम्मीदवार को मिले मत = 14250 का 40% = 5700। जीत का अंतर = 8550 - 5700 = 2850 मत।
