    C 3600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 2400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 2100 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the total number of votes be ‘100n’ Number of votes received by ‘M’ = 0.60 × 100n = 60n Number of votes received by ‘N’ = 100n − 60n = 40n So, 60n − 40n = 1,800 Or, 20n = 1,800 Or, n = 90 Required number of votes = 40 × 90 = 3,600
