Practicing Success
In an election two candidates participated. 20% voters did not cast their votes. 12\(\frac{1}{2}\)% votes declared invalid and winner gets 60% of the valid votes and won by 5600 votes. Find the number of voter in the list. |
40,000 35,000 50,000 30,000 |
40,000 |
Let total votes = 100 R ↓ Votes casted 80 R ↓ valid votes 70 R
ATQ, 70 R × 20% = 5600 100 R = \(\frac{5600 × 100}{70 × 20}\) × 100 = 40,000 |
