Best answer
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.
