Answer 1

Given:

In an election, Ashok,Mahesh and promod got altogether 150 votes.

To find:

How many votes did promod get?

Solution:

In an election, Ashok,Mahesh and promod got altogether 150 votes.

• Ashok + Mahesh + Promod = 150 votes -------------A

according to the question

• Ashok + Promod = 94 votes------(I)
• Mahesh + Promod = 76 Votes ----------(II)

Adding the equation (I) and (II) we get

• Ashok + Mahesh + 2Promod = 94 + 76 votes
• Ashok + Mahesh + 2Promod = 170 votes------------B

Subtract the equation A from B we get

• Promod = 150 - 170
• Promod = 20 votes

Promod get 20 votes.
