Question
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?Solution
ATQ,
Let total votes = 100n
Votes for K = 59n
Votes for L = 100n - 59n = 41n
59n - 41n = 3,540
⇒ 18n = 3,540
⇒ n = 197
Votes received by L = 41 × 197 = 8,077
