    Two candidates, 'K' and 'L', contested in an election.

    'K' received 59% of the votes and won over 'L' by 3,540 votes. How many votes did 'L' receive?
    A 8,212 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 4.800 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 7,718 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 8,007 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,
    Let total votes = 100n

    Votes for K = 59n

    Votes for L = 100n - 59n = 41n

    59n - 41n = 3,540

    тЗТ 18n = 3,540

    тЗТ n = 197

    Votes received by L = 41 ├Ч 197 = 8,077
