Two candidates X and Y contested an election. 80% of voters cast their vote and there were no invalid votes. There was no NOTA (None of the above) option. X got 56% of the votes cast and won by 1440 votes. What is the total number of voters in the voters list?
15000
12000
9600
5000
Since there are only two candidates, if X got 56%, Y got 44%. Difference is of 12%. Now, Difference is given as 1440 (12% of votes casted). Therefore, total casted votes = 12000 Now, only 80% voted, so total voters = 12000/.80 = 15000
