Correct Answer - Option 3 : 1000
Given:
Two candidates fought an election one get 65% of the votes and won by 300 votes.
Calculation:
Let the total number of votes be x
According to the question,
⇒ 65% of x – 35% of x = 300
⇒ 30% of x = 300
⇒ (30/100)x = 300
⇒ x = 30000/30
⇒ x = 1000
∴ The total number of votes polled is 1000.
