b) 1580

c) 1530

Answer: (d)

Total votes polled = x

According to the question,

Question : 3

c) 1500

d) 1460

Let votes polled = x

$x × ({60 - 40}/100)$ = 298

$x × 1/5 = 298$

x = 298 × 5 = 1490

Using Rule 26,

If a candidate got A% votes in a poll and he won or defeated by 'x' votes, then,

what was the total no. of votes which was cast in the poll?

∴ Total no. of votes = ${50 × x}/{50 - A}$

Total number of votes = ${50 × 298}/{50 - 40} = 1490$
