Verified by Toppr

Let the total number of voters be Y

Let the number of people who cast there vote to be X

Given 60% cast, their votes

Therefore 60100X=Y

i.) given number of votes are 1200

Implies Y=1200

Therefore number of voters =X=53Y =53×1200=2000

ii.) now given no of voters =800

i.e X=800

Therefore we know Y=35×X

Y=35×800=480
