Best answer

Answer: (a) Shubha (b) 120 votes, Radha (c) 40 votes

Number of votes \(= \dfrac{\text{central angle}}{360^\circ} \times 720 = \text{angle} \times 2\).

Student	Angle	Votes
Ram	100°	200
Raj	80°	160
Shubha	120°	240
Radha	60°	120

(a) Shubha got the highest number of votes (240), so Shubha won the election.

(b) The minimum number of votes is 120, obtained by Radha (60°).
