    In an election between 'X' and 'Y', 'X' secured 36% of the

    total votes and lost by 2,160 votes. Find the number of votes received by 'Y'.

    C 4200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 4566 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the total number of votes be '100n'

    Number of votes received by 'X' = 0.36 ├Ч 100n = 36n

    Number of votes received by 'Y' = 100n - 36n = 64n

    So, 64n - 36n = 2,160

    Or, 28n = 2,160

    Or, n = 77

    Therefore, required number of votes = 64 ├Ч 77 = 4,928
