    A 8,212 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 4.800 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 7,718 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 6,558 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,
    Let total votes = 100n

    Votes for R = 66n

    Votes for S = 100n - 66n = 34n

    66n - 34n = 7,260

    тЗТ 32n = 7,260

    тЗТ n = 227

    Votes received by S = 34 ├Ч 227 = 7,718
