IN an election between only two candidates the candidate who got 30% of the votes polled is defeated by 15000 votes.what is the number of voters polled by winning candidate?

• Ans=26250
  If Total votes=x, Votes by defeated candidate=0.3x, winning candidate=0.7x
  Given 0.3x+15000=0.7x or 0.4x=15000 ,x=37500
  So votes by winning candidate=0.7x=0.7*37500=26250
