पहले दौर के चुनाव में अमित को 63% वोट मिले। दूसरे दौर में, उनके समर्थन में 24% की कमी आई। दूसरे दौर के बाद अमित को कुल कितने प्रतिशत वोट मिले?
Detailed Solution & Logic
47.88%
Amit received 63% of the votes in the first round. In the second round, his support decreased by 24% of the original 63%, not 24 percentage points.
Step 1: Calculate the decrease in votes.
Decrease = 24% of 63% = $ \frac{24}{100} \times 63 = 15.12%$
Step 2: Subtract the decrease from the first-round votes.
Votes in second round = 63 - 15.12 = 47.88%
✅ Answer: 47.88%
