Answer:
Total number of votes polled is 113000.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total number of voters be 100
Votes received by the losing candidate= 49.8
So, votes received by the winning candidate= 50.2
Difference between the votes received by the winning candidate and the losing candidate = 50.2-49.8 = 0.4
So, we can say that 0.4 is equivalent to 452 votes
Hence, 100 is equivalent to = (452/0.4)*100 = 113000 votes.
