In an election, Rashika and Nikita were against each other. Rashika received 54% votes and won the election by 1280 votes. How many total votes were cast in the election?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 16000.
Rashika received votes = 54%
So, Nikita received votes = 100 - 54 = 46%
Rashika won the election by 1280 votes
So, 54% - 46% = 1280
⇒ 8% = 1280
⇒ 1% = 160
⇒ 100% = 16000
So, total vote = 16000
