एक चुनाव में दो उम्मीदवारों ने भाग लिया। उनमें से एक ने कुल वोटों का 62.5% हासिल किया और 996 वोटों से जीता। डाले गए वोटों की कुल संख्या कितनी हैं?(सभी वोट वैध हैं)
Detailed Solution & Logic
Correct Answer:
3984
Let the total number of votes be
One candidate got 62.5% votes: 0.625V
Other candidate got: V - 0.625V = 0.375V
Margin of victory = 0.625V - 0.375V = 0.25V
Given margin = 996 votes, so 0.25V = 996
$ V = \frac{996}{0.25} = 3984 $
Answer = 3984
