In a state assembly of 120 seats elected by proportional representation, a party originally received \(18\%\) of the total \(500\,000\) votes. A recount shows that \(2\%\) of the total votes (i.e., 10\,000 votes) were invalidly counted for that party. Determine the party's revised vote percentage, state whether it still meets the \(5\%\) electoral threshold, and calculate the minimum number of seats the party would obtain if seats are allocated strictly proportionally to the revised vote share (round down to the nearest whole seat).

Answer Options

A. Revised percentage = 17.33\%, meets threshold, seats = 20
B. Revised percentage = 15.33\%, meets threshold, seats = 18
Correct Answer C. Revised percentage = 16.33\%, meets threshold, seats = 19
D. Revised percentage = 16.33\%, does not meet threshold, seats = 19
Correct Answer
C
Correct Option:
Revised percentage = 16.33\%, meets threshold, seats = 19
