      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the total number of votes be '100n'

      Number of votes received by 'X' = 0.36 × 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 × 77 = 4,928
