2. (i) The group preference under plurality rule is: A B C. Plurality rule looks at the number of "top votes" each alternative receives. A has 2+3=5 top votes, B has 4 top votes, and C has 2 top votes. Therefore, A is the top ranked alternative for the group. Now, removing A from each individ- ual's preference list, compare the top votes B and C receives respectively: now B has 4+2=6 top votes, while C has 2+3=5 top votes. Therefore B is placed on top of C in the group preference. (ii) The group preference under simple majority rule is: B C A. A vs B: 6 members prefer B to A therefore B A A vs C: 6 members prefer C to A therefore C A B vs C: 6 members prefer B to C therefore B C
