Q:

In an election only two candidates contested. A candidate secured 70% of the valid votes and won by a majority of 172 votes. Find the total number of valid votes  ?

A) 446 B) 415
C) 404 D) 430
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 430

Explanation:

Let the total number of valid votes be 'V'.

70% of V = 70/100 x V = 7V/10

Number of votes secured by the other candidate = V - 7V/100 = 3V/10

Given, 7V/10 - 3V/10 = 172 => 4V/10 = 172

=> 4V = 1720 => V = 430.

A) 19 months B) 21 months

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 21 months

Explanation:

Total savings = 200 + 200 + 200 + 240 + 280 + ... to n months = 11040

= 120 + 80 + 160 + 40 + 200 + 240 + ....n terms
= 40 + 80 + 120 + 160 + 200 + 240 + ...n terms
= n/2[2a + (n-1)d] + 80 + 40 = 11040
= n/2[240 + (n-1)40] = 10920
= n[6+n-1] = 546
= n[n+5] = 546
n = 21
