A CAT DILR caselet gives Candidate A's vote count (200), Candidate B's (300), but does NOT mention the total turnout. The question asks: 'what is A's vote share?' The correct answer is:
AAbout 40 percent of all votes cast
BApproximately 50 percent of votes
CCannot be determined from the data
DApproximately 60 percent of votes
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Cannot be determined from the data
Vote share requires A's votes / total turnout. Without total turnout (which might include candidates C, D and spoiled ballots beyond A + B), the share cannot be uniquely determined.
