Question

73.In an election between two candidates, one
got 75% of votes and elected by a majority
of 500 votes. What is the total number of
votes casted?​

Answer 1

Answer:

75% of valid votes cast =9261

⇒Valid votes= 9261/75 ×100=12348

% of valid votes=75%−2%of75%

=(75−1.5)%=73.5%

∴73.5% of total no. of votes =12348

⇒Total no. of voters= 12348×100/ 73.5

=16,800
