Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 491.25 votes

Given:

Average votes obtained by 5 candidates in an election were 630 votes. 

Average votes obtained by other 3 candidates were 260 votes.

Concepts used:

Average votes = (Sum of votes obtained by all candidates)/(Number of candidates)

Calculations:

Sum of votes obtained by 5 candidates = 630 × 5 = 3,150 votes

Sum of votes obtained by 3 candidates = 260 × 3 = 780 votes

Total votes obtained by (5 + 3 = 8) candidates = 3150 + 780 = 3930 votes 

Average votes obtained by all candidates = 3,930/8 votes = 491.25 votes

∴ The average votes obtained by 8 candidates in an election were 491.25 votes.
