Question:

In an election, the winning candidate got 7,26,249 votes. His nearest rival got 5,26,351 votes and third candidate got 45460 votes. 2285 votes were declared invalid. What was the total number of votes polles that constituency?

Given:

• Number of votes winning candidate got = 726249 votes

• Number of votes his nearest rival got = 526351 votes

• Number of Votes Third candidate got = 45460 votes

• Number of Votes declared invalid = 2285 votes

To Find:

• Total number of votes polled in the constituency

Solution:

From the Above Questions we assume that,

Total Number of candidates = 3

Number of Votes that,

• Winning Candidate : 7,26,249

• Nearest Rival : 5,26,351

• Third Candidate : 45,460

• Invalid Votes : 2,285

Therefore to Find Total Number of Votes:

= Sum of 3 candidate's vote + Invalid votes

Adding:

= Votes of 1st ,2nd and 3rd candidate + Invalid votes

= 726,249 + 526,351 + 45,460 +2,285

= 1,300,345
