Let the total number of votes polled be RWe have, two andidates loser and winner

Then,

\orange{\bold{\underline{\underline{Step-by-step\:explanation:}}}}

LOSER got total votes = 38% of R

= 38/100 × R

= 38R/100 (cancel by 2)

= 19R/50

Now

Winner gots total votes = R - 19R/5

= 50R -19R /50

= 31R/50

\Huge{\underline{\underline{\mathfrak{ given \colon }}}}

Loser lost by 16800 votes

__________________________________

= 31R/50 - 19R/50 = 16800

= 12R/50 = 16800

= 12R = 16800×50

= 12R = 840000

= R = 840000/12

= R = 70000

THUS,

TOTAL number of votes polled is 70000

Let the number of votes polled be x

The loser got = 38/100x=19/50x

The winner got = 100-32=62=62/100=31/50x

ATP- 19/50x-31/50x=16800

=>19-31/50x=16800

=>12/50=16800

=> x=16800×50/12

=> x=70000 (Ans)
