Question : 126 of 200

Marks: +1, -0

In a general body election, 3 candidates

p, q

and

r

were contesting for a membership of the board. How many votes did each receive?
I.

p

received 17 votes more than

q

and 103 votes more than

r

.
II. Total votes cast were 1703 .

Your Answer:

Validate

Solution:

From Statement I,

p=q+17

and

p=r+103

From Statement II,

p+q+r=1703

Using statement I,

p+p-17+p-103=1703

⇒ 3 p=1823 ⇒ p=607.67

So, value of

p, q

and

r

can be found out by combining both the statements.
Note Figures are faulty as number of votes cannot be fraction but statements yield results.
