Explanation:

Total valid votes polled in B = 3,25,000

One-sixth of this is 54,167.

Since winner itself polled less than one-sixth votes, other candidates must have polled less than one-sixth of total votes.

∴ Every candidate except the winner will lose their security deposit. (one-sixth doesn’t apply for the winner)

∴ 12 – 2 = 11 candidates from B will lose their security deposit.

Hence, 11.
