Question

In an election between Ravi and Anand 40000 votes
were polled. Ravi won the election with the margin
of 500 votes. Find the ratio of votes polled in favour
of Ravi and Anand.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let b represent the number of votes given for candidate B. Then candidate A got b+400. So:

b+b+400=30000

2b=29600

b=14800

Candidate B got 14800 votes; candidate A got 15200 votes for a ratio of 38:37

hope it help

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that, Ravi got x votes.

Therefore Anand will have x - 500 votes.

Total votes = x + x - 500 = 2x - 500

Therefore 2x - 500 = 40,000

2x = 40,500

X = 40,500/2 = 20250

X - 500 = 19,750
