ReplyDeletewinner got 48% vote of total cast mens losser get 100-(5+48)=47% vote
ReplyDeleteso successful candidate(48%)-looser candidate(47%)=1%
mens 1%=5100.......so total vote cast for elected candidate = 5100X48=244800
i am confused with the words "won by". so i thought the total votes got by him is 5100....., if u include, he won by getting 5100 more votes than the loser, i could be able to understand......,:)
