    Question

    In an election between two candidates 'M' and 'N', 'M'

    got 68% of the votes and won by 8,820 votes. Find the number of votes received by 'N'.
    A 7840 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 7180 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 7520 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 7860 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the total votes be '100n'

    Votes received by 'M' = 0.68 X 100n = '68n'

    Votes received by 'N' = 100n - 68n = '32n'

    So, 68n - 32n = 8,820

    Or, 36n = 8,820

    Or, 'n' = 245

    Therefore, number of votes received by 'N' = 32 X 245 = 7,840
