In an election between two candidates ‘R’ and
‘S’, ‘R’ secured 54% of the total votes and won by 1,200 votes. Find the number of votes secured by ‘S’.Solution
Let the total number of votes be ‘100n’ Number of votes received by ‘R’ = 0.54 × 100n = 54n Number of votes received by ‘S’ = 100n − 54n = 46n So,
54n − 46n = 1,200 Or,
8n = 1,200 Or,
n = 150 Required number of votes = 46 × 150 = 6,900
