Answer» LET the total number of VOTES be v. Given, 20% of votes were not polled. ∴ Total number of votes polled = v – 20% of v = 0.8v Now, Ram received 40% of total votes polled Votes received by Ram = 40% of 0.8v = 0.32v BHANU received 60% of total votes polled. Votes received by Bhanu = 60% of 0.8v = 0.48v Given, Bhanu won by 1600 votes. ∴ 0.48v – 0.32v = 1600 ⇒ 0.16v = 1600 ⇒ v = 10000 Votes received by Bhanu = 0.48 × 10000 = 4800 |
