In an election between two candidates, a candidate who gets 72% of the votes is elected by a majority of 572 votes. Find the total number of votes polled. (assuming all votes are valid)
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 1300.
The winner got 72% votes so, the opponent got 28% votes.
He won by 572 votes.
72% - 28% = 572
44% = 572
So, 100% = 1300
