Question
In an election between two contestants 'Rahul' and
'Sohan', 'Rahul' secured 62% of the total votes and defeated 'Sohan' by 7,440 votes. How many votes did 'Sohan' receive?Solution
ATQ,
Let the total number of votes be '100n'
Votes received by 'Rahul' = 0.62 × 100n = '62n'
Votes received by 'Sohan' = 100n - 62n = '38n'
So, 62n - 38n = 7,440
Or, 24n = 7,440
Or, 'n' = 310
Therefore, number of votes received by 'Sohan' = 38 × 310 = 11,780
