Two candidates contested an election.One of them got 64% of the votes and won by
434 votes.What was the total number of votes polled?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 1550
According to the question
Winning candidate's vote % - looser candidate's vote% = 434
64% - 36% = 434
28% = 434
Hence total votes 100% = (434/28) * 100 = 1550
