ANS: The total number of valid votes will be - 9791-116 = 9675 votes
Let the number of votes unsuccesful candidates received be x.
Then the number of votes succesful candidates received be 9675-x
the no of votes polled by successful candidates to losing candidate = 5:4
therefore, 4*x = 5* (9675-x)
=> 4x = 38700-5x
=> 9x = 38700
x = 4300
So the unsuccesful candidate got 4300 votes
therefore, the succesful candidate got 9675 - 4300 = 5375 votes
the differencein marginof votes polled by the succesful candidate is= 5375 - 4300 = 1075 votes
So the succesful candidate won by by margin 1075 votes
Hope this helps
