Correct answer: (B) 4000

Votes cast = 60% of R. X got 40% of cast votes = 0.24R, remaining 60% split equally among 3 others = 0.12R each. X's excess over each = 0.24R − 0.12R = 0.12R = 480, so R = 480/0.12 = 4000.

चार उम्मीदवारों वाले एक चुनाव में, पंजीकृत मतदाताओं में से 60% ने मतदान किया। उम्मीदवार X को डाले गए वोटों का 40% मिला। शेष वोट अन्य तीन उम्मीदवारों के बीच बराबर-बराबर बँट गए। यदि उम्मीदवार X को अन्य प्रत्येक उम्मीदवार से 480 अधिक वोट मिले, तो कुल पंजीकृत मतदाता कितने थे?

सही उत्तर: (B) 4000

डाले गए वोट = R का 60%। X को कुल का 40% = 0.24R मिले, शेष 60% तीन में बराबर बंटा = प्रत्येक को 0.12R। X का अतिरिक्त = 0.24R − 0.12R = 0.12R = 480, अतः R = 480/0.12 = 4000.
