    In an election 10% of the voters on the voters' list did not cast their votes and 60 voters cast their ballot papers blank. There were only two candidates. The winner was supported by 47% of all the voters in the list and he got 308 votes more than his rival. The number of voters on the list was

    A)  3600            

    B)  6200

    C)  4575             

    D)  6028

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Total voters in the list = x Votes got by the winner \[=\frac{47x}{100}\] Votes got by the loser \[=x-\frac{x}{10}-60-\frac{47x}{100}\] \[=\frac{9x}{10}-\frac{47x}{100}-60=\frac{90x-47x}{100}-60\] \[=\frac{43x}{100}-60\] According to the question, \[\frac{47x}{100}-\frac{43x}{100}+60=308\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{4x}{100}-308-60=248\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[x=\frac{248\times 100}{4}=6200\]
