Problems from M-11/05/20
Problem 1:
A constituency has 5 candidates in an election. During early counting we know that each candidate has got at least 5000 votes. What is the maximum percentage of votes the winning candidate can get if total number of ballots cast is not more than 1 million.
Problem 2:
Only two candidates are competing in a tightly contested election. The leading candidate has received 51% of votes when 80% of ballots were counted. If 2 million ballots remain to be counted, what is the minimum number of ballots that should be in favor of the trailing candidate to flip the lead?
Congratulations Ramachandran Balakrishna.
