Question

In a election between two candidates the candidate who gets 30% of the pole is defeated by 15000 votes . Then number polled in favour of winning candidate

Answer 1

winning candidate gets (100 - 30)%= 70%
then (70-30)%=40%=15000 votes
therefore 70%= 26250 votes.
in favour of winning candidate 26250 votes polled.

Answer 2

Answer:26250 votes

Step-by-step explanation:

one candidate get 30% votes. then other candidate must get 70%. first candidate got defeated. so the difference in getting vote is =(70-30)%

                                                                                                           =40%

as given candidate defeated by 15000 votes.

it means 40% vote of total vote= 15000 votes

⇒40/100 * total vote =15000

⇒total vote =37500

so total number of vote polled is 37500 votes.

as winner candidate get 70% of total votes.

so 70% of 37500 = 26250 votes
