Hello Mate!
Let total number of votes be x
Now, 1st candidate won 48% of total votes =
48x/100
But, 8% from total voters don't give vote ; so votes gives actually = x - 8x/100
= 92x/100
Hmn, now 2nd candidate must have got
92x/100 - 48x/100 = 44x/100, then
Now, 2nd candidate lost by 1st candidate by
1100 votes :-
48x/100 = 44x/100 + 1100
48x/100 - 44x/100 = 1100
4x/100 = 1100
x= 100/4 × 1100
x = 27,500 votes are polled
Hope it helps☺!
