      Question

      In a mayoral election, candidate P got 75% of the total

      votes, winning over candidate Q by 9,600 votes. What is the number of votes secured by candidate Q?
      A 3,212 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 4.800 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 4,116 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 2,558 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,
      Let total votes = 100n

      Votes for P = 75n

      Votes for Q = 100n - 75n = 25n

      75n - 25n = 9,600

      β‡’ 50n = 9,600

      β‡’ n = 192

      Votes received by Q = 25 Γ— 192 = 4,800
