Question

In a village there are 4400 registered voters. 63% of the registered voters could cast their votes, out of
which 252 votes were invalid. If only two candidates were contesting the election and the winning candidate
won by 10% votes, what is the number of votes cast in favor of the winning candidate ?

Answer 1

Total number of registered voters = 4400

No. of people who could cast their votes = 63% of 4400

= 63/100 * 4400 = 2772

Valid votes out of this = 2772 - 252 = 2520

As 2 candidates contested and winner won by 10% votes, so winner got 55% and loser got 45% [ only way to allocate this scenario ]

So, 55% of 2520

= 55/100 * 2520 = 1386

therefore winning candidate got 1386 votes.
