In the Lok Sabha election, Party A got 30% of the total votes. Party B got 25% of the total votes. Party C got the remaining votes and they got 9000 more votes than Party A. Find the number of votes Party B got.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
Total no. of votes = 100x
A + B + C= 100x
30x + 25x + C = 100%
C = 45x
And C got 9000 more votes than A.
C – A = 45x - 30x = 15x
15x = 9000
1x = 600
And 100x = 60000 ( total votes)
Number of votes B got = (25/100) × 60000 = 15000
