Question 759494: At an election, a candidate who gets 3/4th of the total votes, is elected by a majority of 2000 votes. The total number of votes polled and the number of votes secured by the candidate who was elected, are respectively? Answer by sachi(548) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! At an election, a candidate who gets 3/4th of the total votes,
so clearly there are 2 candidates & also the 2nd candudate got 1/4thof total votes
the 1st candidate won by a margin of 3/4-1/4=2/4 of total vote=2000 votes
so the total vote= 2000*4/2=4000
& the winning candidate got 3/4*4000=3000votes
