Answer 1

Answer:

90% of the total voted. = 1080 people voted in the panchayat election.

55% are men.

The elected candidate got 6/10 = 60% of the total votes.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1200×10/100

= 120

no. of voters voted = 1200-120

= 1080

percentage = no. of voters voted / total voters × 100

= 1080/1200×100

= 90 % of the total voters

alternatively = 100%-10% = 90%

so,

no. of women voters = 45/100×1080

= 486 women voted

remaining voters = 1080-486

= 594

so percentage of men = 594/1080×100

= 55%

total no. of votes = 1080

Voters got by the candidate = 3/5×1080

= 648

ans. Therefore he got 648 votes
