Answer is A
If you split the other 29 votes in half between the other 2 candidates, one has to get 14 and the other 15 so there is no way anyone can get less votes than Candidate F, so therefore he was not the highest vote getter.
B says nothing about Candidate F so we cannot conclude anything.

1)Candidate F received 11 of the votes
2)Candidate H recieved 14 of the votes
FROM ONE
if F recieved 11 thus g,h recieved 29 ( 14,15 or 20,9) AND THUS SURE 11 IS NOT THE BIGGEST NO OF VOTES
.......SUFF
FROM TWO
h = 14 thus F+ g = 26 (20,6 or 13,13 ) not suff
my answer is A
