UP Police Constable Exam Model Paper 2

Given:
One candidate got 25% votes
Loss by 400 votes
Calculation:
Let total number of votes be 100x
One candidates got 25% = 100x × 25/100
⇒ 25x ----(1)
Other candidate got = 100x – 25x
⇒ 75x ----(2)
According to question
⇒ 75x – 25x = 400
⇒ 50x = 400
⇒ x = 8
Total number of votes = 100x = 100 × 8
⇒ 800
∴Total number of votes are 800
