Question
A candidate gets 57% of the votes in an election and
defeats the other candidate by 6,524 votes. If there are only two candidates, how many votes does the losing candidate get?Solution
Votes received by the winning candidate = 57% Votes received by the losing candidate (100-57) % = 43% ATQ- 57%-43%= 6524  14% = 6524 1% = 6524 /14 43% = 6524/14) ×43 = 20,038 Hence, the total votes received by the losing candidate is 20,038.
