In an election involving two candidates, 68 votes were declared invalid. The winning candidate scores 52% and wins by 98 votes. The total number of votes polled is ?
Answer : 2518
Solution :
Let the number of valid votes be x.
Winning candidate=52%
Losing candidate =100-52 =48%
According to the question
52% of x - 48% of x = 98
=> 4% of x = 98
=> 4/100*x=98
<=> x = 98 * 25 = 2450.
Invalid votes = 68
∴ Total number of votes polled = (2450 + 68) = 2518.
