    In a village 40% of votes were cast in an election. A

    and B were the contestants. A won by 600 votes. If B had got 60% more votes, there would have been a tie between them. Find the number of recognized voters in the village?
    A 4800 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 2800 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 3200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 3600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 4000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the number of votes A got = x Number of votes B got = x – 600 Now, According to the question, => (x-600) × (160/100) = x => (8x)/5 - 960 = x => (8x)/5 = 960 + x => 8x = 4800 + 5x => 3x = 4800 => x = 1600 Now, If 40% means 1600 votes Then, 1 % means 1600/40 votes 100% means (1600/40) × 100 = 4000 votes
