In an election,30% of the voters voted fr candidate A whereas 60 % of the remaining voted for candidate B
The remaining voters did not vote. If the difference between those who voted for candidate . A and those who
did not vote was 1200, how many individuals were eligible fr casting vote in that election
Let the number of persons eligible to vote be `x`
Then, voters who vote3d for A= 30% of `x`
Voters who voted for B = 60% of (70% of `x`)
=`(60/100 xx 70/100 xx 100)` of `x` = 42% of `x`
Voters who did not vote =[100 -(30 + 42)]% of `x` = 28% of `x`.
`:.` 30% of `x` - 28% of `x` = 1200 `hArr ` 2% of `x = 1200 hArr x = ((1200 xx 100)/(2))` = 60000
