Question

22. In an election, there were only three candidates. 20% of the population did not go to cast their votes.
Out of those who did, 15% votes were invalid and rest were received by the three candidates in the
ratios 3:4:5. Find the total population if the winning candidate received 34,000 votes.​

Answer 1

Answer:

120000

Step-by-step explanation:

total population be x

people who casted vote = x-20/100x= 80x/100

invalid votes = 15% of 80/100x

valid votes = 68/100x

winning candidate share 5/12 of 68/100x = 34000

5/12 X 68x/100 = 34000

x = 120000
