Answer 2

Required Solution:

Given:

• Total number of votes polled → 23875501 votes

• Votes got by first candidate → 9823823 votes

• Votes got by second candidate → 11575923 votes.

To calculate:

• How many votes were polled in favour of the third candidate?

Calculation:

Here, as we are given total votes and votes got by two candidates. Let us assume the votes got by the third candidate as "x" votes. So, let us make suitable equation in order to calculate the total number of votes.

Now,

According to the question :

→ Total votes polled = Votes of candidate 1 + Votes of candidate 2 + Votes of candidate 3

→ Votes of candidate 3 = Total votes polled – ( Votes of candidate 1 + Votes of candidate 2 )

______________________________

→ 23875501 = 9823823 + 11575923 + x

• Performing Addition

→ 23875501 = 21399746 + x

• Now, transposing 21399746 from RHS to LHS.

→ 23875501 – 21399746 = x

• Performing substraction

→ x = 2475755

⇒ Hence, 2475755 votes were polled in favour of the third candidate.
