Question

in an election an amount of votes was share among parties A,B and C in the ratio of 1:2:4. How many votes party B obtained if party C got 1500 more votes than A?​

Answer 1

1000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the share of votes obtained by the parties A, B and C be x, 2x and 4x respectively.

According to the given information:

No of votes obtained by C = 1500 + No of votes obtained by A

$\therefore 4x = 150. + x \\\\\therefore 4x - x = 1500\\\\\therefore 3x = 1500\\\\\therefore x = \frac{1500}{3} \\\\\therefore x = 500\\\\\because Votes \:obtained\: by \:B = 2x \\\\\therefore Votes \:obtained\: by \:B = 2\times 500\\\\\purple {\bold {\therefore Votes \:obtained\: by \:B = 1000}}$
