Answer 1

Answer:

Mr Y got 10 votes

Step-by-step explanation:

The election of the housing society has 30 voters. Each of them gives the vote. The three person vying for the post of secretary are X, Y and Z.

Le us calculate the votes of each contestant

Mr X

He got 2/5 of the total votes

number of votes = 2/5 × 30

number of votes = 60/5

number of votes = 12

Mr Z

He got 1/4 of the total votes

number of votes = 1/4 × 30

number of votes = 30/4

number of votes = 1/4 × 30

number of votes = 7.5 ≈ 8 votes

Mr Y

The remaining votes will be 30 - 12 - 8 = 10 votes

Therefore,

Mr Y got 10 votes
