The population of a city vote for one among 4 political parties, A, B, C and D. 25% of the voters are committed to party B, 25% to party C and 10% to party D. 10% of the total voters fluctuate and can vote for any party. 50% of the voters are female and 50% of the voters committed to party D are male. Of the voters who fluctuate, half are female. Party B does not have any committed female voters while party C does not have any committed male voters. If all the voters except those who fluctuate cast their votes, what percent of the male votes will be won by party A?
A. 16.66%
B. 25%
C. 30%
D. 33.33%
E. 35%
Are You Up For the Challenge: 700 Level Questions\(A+B+C+D+F(Fluctuate)=100\)
\(A+25+25+10+10=100\)
\((AM+AF)+(BM+BF)+(CM+CF)+(DM+DF)+10=100\)
\(AF+BF+CF+DF+F'=50 and AM+BM+CM+DM+F''=50, (F'+F''=10)\)
\(DF=5, DM=5,F'=5, F''=5, BF=0, CM=0\)
\(AF+0+25+5+5=50\)
\(AF=15\)
\(AM+25+0+5+5=50\)
\(AM=15\)
\(A= 30\)
But male voters except those who fluctuate= 15-5=10
male % won by A=\(10/30\)
33.33
D:)
Could you please explain why did you subtract 5 from the male voters since the count of 15 already had no fluctuating voters, even i followed the same approach and got the same number except the final answer. Since the question tells to remove the fluctuating voters i found the probability using 15/90 instead it should have been 15/30 where m i going wrong?
