Question
There were two candidate in an election. 15% of the
total voters did not cast their votes whereas 10% of the casting votes were declared invalid. If the winning candidate received 60% of the total votes and won by 3480 votes then find out the total number of Voters?Solution
Let the total voters be 100 Number of casted votes = 85 Number of valid votes = 90/100 × 85 = 76.5 Winning candidates got 60% of total votes = 60 Looser candidates got = 76.5 – 60 = 16.5 Difference between winning and looser candidates votes = 3,480 60 – 16.5 = 43.5 43.5 unit = 3,480 100 = 3480/43.5 × 100 = 8000 Total number of voters = Rs 8,000
