The opposition candidate for 14th Presidential elections, Meira Kumar secured the highest votes by any runner up candidate in nearly 50 years. Her vote share was:
Answer: A
Meira Kumar's vote share was 34.35%.
In the 2017 presidential election Ram Nath Kovind won with about 65.65 per cent of the electoral college's vote value, and Meira Kumar, the opposition candidate, received the remaining 34.35 per cent. The two shares add to 100 per cent.
\[ 100 - 65.65 = 34.35 \]
The other figures are too high: 42% or even 38% would have been a far closer contest than the one held. Her share was nonetheless the highest for a losing candidate since 1967, which is the point of the question.
