Question

एक चुनाव में दो प्रत्याशियों को 5:7 के अनुपात में मत मिले । यदि कुल 14076 मत पड़े , तो दोनों को कुल कितने कितने मत मिल।

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the common multiplier of the given ratios be x

Therefore, votes received by both candidates are 5x and 7x.

$\therefore \: 5x + 7x = 14076 \\ \therefore \: 12x = 14076 \\ \therefore \: x = \frac{14076}{12} \\ \therefore \: x = 1173 \\ \implies \\ 5x = 5 \times 1173 = 5865 \\ \& \\ 7x = 7 \times 1173 = 8211$

Hence, votes received by both candidates are 5865 & 8211.
