in the election of 1824 who selects the president when no candidate receives a majority of electoral votes?

Answer 1

In that election, it was sent into the House of Reps per the 12th. Each state had one vote. Today, if a candidate fails to get the absolute electoral majority (270) it is sent to the House. It could likely happen if more than 2 parties receive electoral votes or if two candidates receive 269

Answer 2

This is a good question because 1824 was the first election where electoral votes won no matter the majority; so, the winner was based on the majority of electoral votes.

This is from wiki to help explain.

The United States presidential election of 1824 is considered a realigning election. John Quincy Adams was elected President on February 9, 1825 after the election was thrown into the House of Representatives. The previous few years had seen a one-party government in the United States, as the Federalist Party had dissolved, leaving only the Democratic-Republican Party. In this election, the Democratic-Republican party splintered as four separate candidates sought the presidency. The faction led by Andrew Jackson would evolve into the Democratic Party, while the factions led by John Quincy Adams and Henry Clay would become the National Republican Party and later the Whig Party.

This election is notable for being the only time since the passage of the Twelfth Amendment that the presidential election was thrown into the House of Representatives, as no candidate received a majority of the electoral vote. It is also often said to be the first election in which the president did not win the popular vote. This is hard to determine, insofar as a quarter of the states did not conduct a popular vote, but instead had the state legislature choose their electors...

Answer 3

The House of Representatives voted for the President since no one was selected through the electoral college.

Answer 4

In the event of a tie vote in the electoral college the matter is taken to the House of Representatives. Each state is given one vote.

Incidentally if we were to do away with the electoral college, this would probably no longer be an issue.
