Question
In an election between two candidates ‘A’ and
‘B’, ‘A’ received 58% of the total votes and won by 2,400 votes. Find the number of votes received by ‘B’.Solution
Let the total number of votes be ‘100n’ Number of votes received by ‘A’ = 0.58 × 100n = 58n Number of votes received by ‘B’ = 100n − 58n = 42n So, 58n − 42n = 2,400 Or, 16n = 2,400 Or, n = 150 Required number of votes = 42 × 150 = 6,300
