    C 3200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 3600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 4000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the number of votes A got = x Number of votes B got = x– 600 Now, According to the question, => (x-600)× (160/100) = x => (8x)/5 - 960 = x => (8x)/5 = 960 + x => 8x =4800 + 5x => 3x = 4800 => x = 1600 Now, If 40% means 1600 votes Then, 1 % means 1600/40 votes 100% means(1600/40)× 100 = 4000 votes
