In a district, the total number of voters is 10 lakhs but 80% of the voters are casting their votes. There are four parties A, B, C, and D participating in the election and B receives 20% votes, C receives 28% votes and D receives 22% votes. Find the number of votes which were cast for the party B? Correct Answer 160000

Total number of voters = 10 lakhs

Total number of voters who have cast their votes = 80% of the total cast votes = 800000 votes

The total number of votes received by the party B = 20% votes of 800000 = 160000 votes.

Hence, the total number of casted votes for the party B = 160000 votes
