Answer 2

Answer:

Total number of students voted = 120

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's consider that the total number of student voted is x.

It is given that Raman wins by 24 votes and Pranav gets the 40% of votes.

So, the Raman gets the remaining 60% votes.

Since, the difference of Raman and Pranav votes are 24.

So, According to question,

     0.60x - 0.40x  = 24

=> 0.20x = 24

$=>\ x\ =\ \dfrac{24}{0.20}$

         = 120

Hence, the total number of students voted are 120.
