Answer 1

Answer:

anu = 8600 , babu = 7600 , chandu = 7400

Explanation:

let anu = x , babu = y , chandu = z

given x+y+z = 16000  ------> 1

also given x = 1000 + y ----> 2;

x = 1200 +z ----> 3

solving 1 ,2 ,3 we get x = 8600 , y = 7600 ,z = 7400

Answer 2

Answer:

Anu gets 4600 votes.

Babu gets 4600-1000=3600 votes.

Chandu gets 4600-1200=3400 votes.

Explanation:

Given total number of votes are 16000.

Let Anu gets x votes.

So, Babu receives x-1000 votes

And Chandu gets x-1200 votes

Total vote $= x + (x - 1000) + (x - 1200) = x + x + x - 1000 - 1200 = 3x - 2200$

According to question,

$3x - 2200 = 16000$

$3x = 16000 - 2200$

$3x = 13800$

$x = \frac{13800}{3} = 4600$

Anu gets 4600 votes.

Babu gets 4600-1000=3600 votes.

Chandu gets 4600-1200=3400 votes.
