Correct Answer - Option 2 : 1035
Given:
Avg of 5 states’ polling stations = 443.4
First + Second + Third + Fifth = 419.25
Fourth: fifth = 12: 23
Calculation:
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 443.4 × 5
⇒ Total number of polling stations = 2217
1 + 2 + 3 + 5 = 419.25 × 4
⇒ 1 + 2 + 3 + 5 = 1677
Fourth state number of polling station = 2217 – 1677
⇒ Fourth state number of polling station = 540
⇒ Fifth state number of polling station = 540 × 23/ 12
⇒ Fifth state number of polling station = 1035
∴ 1035 polling station
