MBA Exam Numerical Ability Percentage

10% of the voters did not cast their votes in an election between two candidates , 10% of the voters polled were found invalid . The succeeded candidate got 54% of the valid votes and won by a majority of 1620 votes . find the total number of votes listed

Read Solution (Total 1)

25000

If total number of listed votes=x
Total votes polled(90%)=x*90/100=0.9x
Valid votes among polled votes(90%)=0.9*90/100=0.81x
As succeeded candidate got 54% of the valid votes, so defeated candidate got 46%
(0.81x*54/100) -(0.81*46/100)=1620
On solving, x=25000
