In an election, about 500,000 people voted in all.

We need to find exact number of people that round to get 500,000 .

For example if we take 450,000

When we round to nearest hundred thousand , it becomes 500,000 because we have 5 in ten thousand place.

If we have 5 or greater than 5 then we add 1 in hundred thousand place.

450,000 to 549,999 is the range of numbers that gives 500,000 when it round to hundred thousands place.

We are not given with any options. So, the exact number lies between 450,000 to 549,999
