A) 37500
B) 30000
C) 26250
D) 11250
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
Let the total number of votes polled be x. Then, 30% of \[x+15000=70%\]of x \[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{30}{100}x+15000=\frac{70}{100}x\] or \[15000=\left( \frac{70-30}{100} \right)x\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[x=\frac{15000\times 100}{40}=37500\] \[\therefore \] Total number of votes polled = 37500 Number of votes polled for winning candidate = 70% of 37500 \[=\frac{70}{100}\times 37500=26250\]You need to login to perform this action.
