Download Solution PDFGiven:
Party A secured 16% of total votes more than party
Party B got 25200 votes
Calculation:
Let total votes is X
B got 25200 votes
A got (25200 + 16% of X)
Total votes
⇒ 25200 + 25200 + 16% of X = X
⇒ 84% of X = 50400
⇒ X = 60000
B lost the election by 16% of 60000
⇒ 16% of 60000 = 9600
∴ B lost the election by 9600 votes
