Answer:
the no. of people in village=7680
no. of people did not vote=120
no. of voted people=7680-120=7560
the winning candidate votes=560+opponent votes
let us consider opponent's votes as x
the votes of winning candidate=560+x
so,
votes of winning candidate+votes of opponent=7560
560+x+x=7560
560+2x=7560
2x=7560-560
2x=7000
x=7000/2
x=3500
opponent votes=3500
winning candidate votes=3500+560=4060
ratio of winning candidate votes and opponent candidate votes=4060:3500
=29:25
