प्रश्न
In an election between two candidates, one candidate secured 47% of votes polled and lost the election by 12,366 votes. Find the total votes and die votes secured by the winning candidate.
उत्तर
Since, the losing candidate secured 47% of the votes polled
Winning candidate secures votes
= (100 - 47)% of the votes polled
= 53% of the votes polled
Difference of votes
= 53 - 47
= 6% of the votes polled
We are given :
6% of the votes polled = 12,366
⇒ `(6)/(100)` of the votes polled = 12,366
⇒ Votes polled
= `12,366 xx (100)/(6)`
⇒ = `(1236600)/(6)`
⇒ = 2,06,100
Votes secured by winning candidate
= `(53)/(100) xx 2,06,100`
= 1,09,233
∴ Votes polled = 2,06,100
Votes secured by winning candidate = 1,09,233
