Question

In an election between two persons, 68 votes were declared invalid. The winning person got 52% and won by 98 votes. Find the total number of votes polled.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let total number of votes polled be x

Number of invalid votes=68

Number of valid votes=x−68

then according to question

(52−48)%of(x−68)=98

4%of(x−68)=98

1004+(x−68)=98

x−68=98+25

x=2450+68

x=2518

Therefore total votes polled=2518
