The total votes received by the five candidates across the nine wards is given in the first table below. The second table provides 15% of the total votes polled in each ward.
Bheem would have been elected as the Mayor, since he received the highest number of votes.
Bheem received less than 15% votes in ward 1, ward 4, ward 7 and ward 9. Motu and Chutki received at least 15% votes in all the wards. Laddu received less than 15% votes in ward 6 and ward 7. Kaliya received less than 15% votes in ward 3, ward 4 and ward 5.
Only Motu and Chutki are eligible to be Councilmen. Among the two, Chutki received the higher number of votes and will be elected the councilmen.
Except for Bheem, all the others are eligible for Administrator, among them, Motu received the maximum number of votes in one ward. Chutki received the maximum number of votes in one ward. Laddu received the maximum number of votes in three wards. Kaliya received the maximum number of votes in two wards.
Hence, Laddu will be elected as the Administrator.
Bheem received the maximum number of votes in four wards. Hence, Bheem will be elected as the commissioner as well.
The Mayor, Bheem, in Ward 6 received 200 votes. The Administrator, Laddu, received 245 votes in Ward 9. Hence, the difference= 45.
