There were only two candidates A and B in an election. A defeated B by 5490 votes and 65% of the voters supported A. Find the total numbers of votes polled.​ [ Correct Question]

Given:

A defeated B by 5490 votes and 65% of the voters supported A.

TO find:

The total number of voters

Solution:

The total number of voters will be 100%

As per the given situation of the question

A gets 65% of the total votes

So, B gets 35% of the total votes

The difference in the Votes of A and B will be

65 - 35

30 %

In the question, the difference is given as 5490 votes

so by the unitary method:

• 30% ------- 5490
• 1% ----------- 5490/30
• 1% ---------- 183
• 100% -------- 18300

So the total number of the voters are 18300
