Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 8420

Given: In an election, X and Y together got 19600 votes. Y won the election by a total number of 2760 votes.

Formula: Percentage increase/ decrease = [(new - actual)/actual] × 100%

Calculation: Let the total no. of votes of X and Y are x and y respectively.

According to question

x + y = 19600     ----(1)

y - x = 2760      ----(2)

On adding both the equations

2y = 22360

⇒ y = 11180

By putting value of y in any equation we get

x = 8420

∴ required answer is 8420.
