In an election two candidates participated. 30% voters did not caste their votes. One candidate got 44% of total votes and won by 5400 votes. Then find the total number of votes.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Let Total votes = 100
Cast votes = 100 × 70 % = 70
Votes of Candidate (A) = 44% of Total Votes = 44% × 100 = 44
Votes of Candidate (B) = 70 - 44 = 26
A won by = 44 - 26 = 18 votes
18R = 5400 (given)
1R = 300
Total No. of Votes = 100 × 300 = 30,000
