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
