    Solution

    ATQ, 87.5% of voters in State P = 10/11 of State Q = 93.75% of State C Or, 7P/8 = 10Q/11 = 15R/16 [87.5% = 7/8 and 93.75% = 15/16] So, P:Q:R = (8/7):(11/10):(16/15) = 240:231:224 = c [say] Now, (240c + 231c + 224c) /3 = 695 Or, 695c = 695 × 3 Or, c = 3 Required difference = 240c – 224c = 16c = 48
