In an election, the votes cast for two of the candidates were in the ratio 5:7. If the successful candidate received 20734 votes, how many votes did his opponent receive?

योग

उत्तर

Given, ratio of votes for two candidates = 5:7

Let the votes are 5x and 7x.

For successful candidates votes are greater.

Hence, 7x = 20734

⇒ x = 2962

Number of votes of his opponent = 5x

= 5 × 2962 = 14810
