If there are 5,000 voters out of which 20% are not eligible to vote and there are two candidates contesting. The winning candidate won by 15% of the votes. What is the total number of votes he got ?
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Number of voters eligible for voting = 5000 × 0.8 = 4000
Number of extra votes gotten by the winning candidate = 4000 × 0.15 = 600

⇒ x – (4000 – x) = 600
⇒ x = 2300
D
