In an election, 70% of the voters voted for P and 20% of the remaining voters voted for Q. The remaining voters didn’t vote. If the total number of votes who voted for P and did not vote is 3760. Find the total number of voters? Correct Answer 4000

Let total number of voters in the election be N.

Number of voters for P = 7N/10

Remaining voters = 3N/10

Number of voters for Q = 20/100 × 3N/10 = 3N/50

Total number of voters who didn’t vote = 3N/10 - 3N/50 = 12N/50

Given,

⇒ 7N/10 + 12N/50 = 3760

⇒ N = 4000

Total number of voters = 4000
