In an election four candidates were there in the fray, out of which three were nominated from the three national parties and they got votes in a ratio of 2:3:4.The total votes polled were 1,89,000 and the fourth candidate got 18,000 votes. The votes obtained by the three candidates of the national parties are respectively: (assuming all votes valid)

38,000, 57,000 and 76,000

Ratio of votes of three candidates = 2 : 3 : 4

Sum of votes of three candidates = 189000 - 18000 = 171000

 (2R + 3R + 4R) = 171000

9R =  171000

R = 19000

Now, the votes of three candidates are,

 2R =  2 × 19000  = 38000

 3R =  3 × 19000 = 57000

 4R =  4 × 19000 = 76000
