IBPS SO Prelims Exam Model Paper 3

Given:
Vot got by candidates A, B, C, D and E are 25%, 30%, 15%, 12% and 18% respectively.
Concept Used:
Concept of percentage. It is calculated on the basis of 100
For example, x% means x out of 100
Calculation:
Votes got by candidate A = 120000 ×

25

100

= 30000
Votes got by candidate B = 120000 ×

30

100

= 36000
Votes got by candidate C = 120000 ×

15

100

= 18000
Sum of vote got by candidate A + B + C = 30000 + 36000 + 18000 = 84000
Votes got by candidate D = 120000 ×

12

100

= 14400
Votes got by candidate E = 120000 ×

18

100

= 21600
Sum of vote got by candidate D + E = 14400 + 21600 = 36000
Required difference = 84000 – 36000 = 48000
∴ The required difference between votes got by candidate A, B and C together to that of D and E together is 48000
