Answer:
The given two statements are not enough to find the required result in the given problem.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to find which party would win the election out of a total of 5 parties.
Let the five parties be V, W, X, Y, Z.
The two given statements are given as:
(i) Party 'X' got the least number of votes: If the party X gets the minimum votes, then it gets eliminated from the number of potential winners of the election, as it will be placed at the fifth position.
(ii) Party 'Y' gets 100 votes more than the party 'Z': With regards to this statement, we can be sure that the party 'Y' will be placed higher than the party 'Z', thus eliminating party 'Z' from the potential winners.
Thus, after analysing the two given statements, the potential winners of the elections are the parties 'V', 'W' and 'Y'. As no single party could be chosen as the potential winner of the election, the given statements are not found to be enough to predict the solution to the given problem.
