A. T. Q

2x+3x=360

5x=360

x=360/5

x=72

Candidate A=2x=2×72=144 votes.

Candidate B=3x=3×72=216 votes

Answer 2

Answer:

So , here given ratio of A and B party = 2:3

The total number of votes cast = 360

SO, LET TAKE RATIO BE X

A candidate = 2x

B candidate = 3x

2x + 3x = 360

5x = 360

x = 360/5

x = 72

A candidate votes = 2 × 72

$144$

Therefore candidate A gets 144 votes
