Correct Answer: 21%
Solution :
As per the given bar graph:
In Region B, Y gets 88 votes and X gets 73 votes.
The difference of votes between Y and X = 88 – 73 = 15 votes
Required percentage = $\frac{\text{The difference of votes between Y and X}}{{\text{The number of votes of X}}}× 100$
Required percentage = $\frac{15}{73}× 100\approx$ 21%
Hence, the correct answer is 21%.
