Question
In an election between two persons, the winner secured 62%
of the total votes and defeated the other by 3,600 votes. How many votes were secured by the person who lost?Solution
ATQ,
Let the total votes be '100p'.
Number of votes secured by winning candidate = 0.62 × 100p = 62p
Number of votes secured by losing candidate = 100p - 62p = 38p
So, 62p - 38p = 3,600
Or, 24p = 3,600
Or, p = 150
Therefore, required number of votes = 38 × 150 = 5,700
