Study the data given in the following table and answer the following question.

Which of the following 2 groups would NOT have been able to defeat the winning party?

Correct option is B

​Solution:​

Clearly, winning party is Party D with 54 votes

Now to find groups that would NOT have been able to defeat the winning party, we check the sum of votes for party groups given in options.

Sum of votes for Party C and Others = 29 + 17 = 46 < 54

Sum of votes for Party F and Party B = 39 + 37 = 76 > 54

Sum of votes for Party B and Others = 37 + 17 = 54 = 54

Sum of votes for Party F and Others = 39 + 17 = 66 > 54

Clearly, the group that would NOT have been able to defeat the winning party is Party C and Others.
