Question

In an election, the successful candidate registered 5,77,500 votes and his nearest rival secured 3,48,700 votes. By what margin did the successful candidate win the election?

Answer 1

Votes received by successful candidate = 5,77,500

Votes received by rival votes = 3,48,700

Difference of votes = Votes received by successful candidate – Votes received by rival votes

= 5,77,500 − 3,48,700

= 2,28,800

Hence, the successful candidate won the election by 2,28,800 votes.
