• Let total people be x
  Congress =60/100*x=3x/5
  3/4 of 3x/5=9x/20
  Bjp=40/100*x=2x/5
  1/5 of 2x/5=2x/25
  Adding both
  9x/20+2x/25=53x/100
  Ans=53%

• ans is 53
  lets take 100, 60 from congress,40 BJP

• let total registered congress candidates are = 34 * 60100 =920
  & total registered bjp candidates = 15*40100 = 225
  now adding this we get 53100
  therefore total percentage of people fighting elections are ,
  53100 * 100
  =53%

• assume total number of candidates be 100
  so 60%(100)=60 candidates are registered for congress and
  40%(100)=40 candidates are registered for BJP
  given that 3/4th(60) fight for election and 1/5th(40) fight for BJP
  and therfore 3/4*60+1/5*40=53
  Ans is: 53

• Let total people be x
  Congress =60/100*x=3x/5
  3/4 of 3x/5=9x/20
  Bjp=40/100*x=2x/5
  1/5 of 2x/5=2x/25
  Adding both
  9x/20+2x/25=53x/100
  Ans=53%
  
• 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)
• let total no. of candidates be 100
  then congress=60%=60
  bjp=40%=40
  
  no of candidates fighting the election=0.75*60+0.2*40=53
  so required %= 53%
• 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
• 60*3/4=45
  40*1/5=8
  45+8=53
• 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
• 53%
  Since 3/4 of registered Cong candidate equals 45 and 1/5 of BJP candidate registered equals 8 assuming no. of candidates to be 100 . Therefore 45 + 8 = 53 .
• 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
• 53 % people fighting elections
• 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
• ans 53%
  Lets consider there are 100 registered candidates for election
  60 candidates are from congress and 40 from BJP
  3/4(60)= 45 candidates are fighting from congress
  1/5(40)= 8 candidates are fighting from BJP
  So total candidates who are fighting for elecctions from congress and bjp are 45+8=53
  % of candidates fighting for elections are 53 out of total 100 candidates
  so Its 53%
