Which of these defines a majority in elections?
a. Three-quarters
b. 51 percent
c. More than half
d. Two-thirds
e. 60 percent
Is it going to be B or C ?
The correct answer is c. More than half. In elections, a majority is defined as having more than half of the total votes.
To determine the correct option, you can analyze the given choices and use your understanding of the concept of a majority. In this case, the options a, d, and e all represent percentages greater than 50, but not necessarily more than half. Option b, 51 percent, is exactly half of the total votes and does not constitute a majority. Therefore, the answer is c, "more than half," which clearly indicates having a greater number of votes than any other option.
