In an election between two candidates, the winner got 65% of the total votes cast and won the election by a majority of 2748 votes. What is the total number of votes cast if no vote is declared invalid?
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
D
Winner gets 65% of valid votes and loser gets 35% of votes
Difference between this two = 2748
(65-35)% = 2748
30% = 2748
Total number of voters, 100%
= $$\frac{{2748 \times 100}}{{30}}$$ = 9160
= $$\frac{{2748 \times 100}}{{30}}$$ = 9160

LoginTotal=X
W= 65% X
So, L=35% X
Difference= 2748
Or, (65-35)% X =2748
Or, 30% X = 2748
Or, 30/100 X =2748
Or, X = (916 x 100)/30
30% of x =2748
30/100 × x =2748
x = 2748 × 100/30
x = 9160
