Answer 1

1 a. In this type of voting system political parties get a number of seats approximately proportional to the percentage of the vote they received:

Correct option is: Proportional representation. Parties get representation as per percent votes received by them. Eg. 40 % votes, 40 % representation.Eg.Ireland uses this system.

1 .b In this type of voting system the winning candidate is the person who gets the most votes.:

Correct option: First past the post system. This is followed in India. If 60 votes are cast and a person A gets 30 which is highest, person A will be declared elected.
