Let first candidate got m votes and other candidate was successful and got n votes. Invalid votes : 60
Total number of voters in the list No Voting or absentees: N x 20 100 N 0.2 N =
Total number of VALID votes = n+ m
Total number of polled votes = (n+ m + 60)
80% of N = 0.8N
So,
n+ m = 0.8N - 50
n = m + 300
n - m = 300
(1)
(2)
On adding equation (1) and (2), we get 2n = 0.8N + 300 - 500.8N + 250
n = 0.40N + 125
n= 45% of N = 0.45N
0.40N + 125 = 0.45N.......[from equation 3.
125 = 0.05N
Hence,
Total votes N = 2, 500
Successful candidate got and = 0.45 x 2, 500 >
1, 125 votes
First candidate got m = 1,125 – 300 = 825 votes.
