Answer:
847
Step-by-step explanation:
Total no of seats = 3284+3455+1521 = 8260
8260÷2 = 4130
That means if each party x and y get 4130 vote they will be equal to win election or majority x should win one seat more than y
that means
Y= 4130-1 = 4129
X = 4130+ 1= 4131
So to win election x should atleast get 4131 votes
Votes x already got = 3284
Votes needed for x to win = 4131
Minimum no of Votes x should get to win election = 4131 - 3284 = 847
Therefore X should get 847 Votes more atleast to win election
