SSC Government Jobs Exams Numerical Ability Percentage

There are two candidates in an election,10% voters did not cast their vote and 48 votes were found invalid.The winning candidate got 53% of the total votes and won by 304 votes find the total number of votes enrolled?

Read Solution (Total 1)

1600

Let total enrolled votes be x, then valid votes=(0.9x-48)
Given, winning candidate got 53% of the total votes = 0.53x
So, votes of defeated candidate = (0.53x - 304)
Total votes of both candidates = 0.53x + (0.53x - 304) = (0.9x-48)
0.16x = 256
x = 1600
Therefore, total number of votes enrolled are 1600.
