Question
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'.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
