This question was previously asked in
RRB ALP 2018 CBT 2 Fitter Question Paper (21-Jan-2019) (Shift 3)
The correct answer is

534

Understanding the Data on Seats Won

The question provides a table showing the number of seats won by four different parties (A, B, C, and D) across four regions (South, East, West, and North).

The table can be represented as follows:

S. No. Party South East West North
1 A 40 37 35 27
2 B 62 67 68 63
3 C 83 71 42 14
4 D 17 3 11 1

Calculating the Total Number of Candidates Elected

To find the total number of candidates elected, we need to sum up the seats won by all parties across all the regions. This means adding all the numbers in the 'South', 'East', 'West', and 'North' columns for all the parties.

We can calculate the total seats won by each party first:

  • Party A Total Seats: $40 + 37 + 35 + 27 = 139$
  • Party B Total Seats: $62 + 67 + 68 + 63 = 260$
  • Party C Total Seats: $83 + 71 + 42 + 14 = 210$
  • Party D Total Seats: $17 + 3 + 11 + 1 = 32$

Now, sum these totals to get the grand total number of candidates elected:

Total Candidates Elected = (Party A Total) + (Party B Total) + (Party C Total) + (Party D Total)

Total Candidates Elected = $139 + 260 + 210 + 32$

Let's perform the final addition:

$139 + 260 = 399$

$399 + 210 = 609$

$609 + 32 = 641$

So, based on the provided data, the total number of candidates elected is 641.

Revision Table: Data Analysis Summary

Here is a summary of the seats won per party:

Party Total Seats Won
A 139
B 260
C 210
D 32

Grand Total = $139 + 260 + 210 + 32 = 641$

Additional Information: Key Concepts in Data Interpretation

Data interpretation involves analyzing data presented in tables, charts, or graphs to extract meaningful insights and answer specific questions. Key concepts include:

  • Reading Tables: Understanding rows, columns, and headings to locate specific data points.
  • Aggregation: Summing up data across categories (like summing seats for a party across regions or for all parties in a region).
  • Comparison: Comparing values between different categories or time periods.
  • Calculating Percentages: Finding the proportion of a part out of a whole, often expressed as a percentage.
  • Finding Averages: Calculating the mean, median, or mode of a dataset.

Accurately reading the data and performing the required arithmetic operations are crucial for correct data interpretation.
