Hari, Kamal and Lalit contested an election in which 6050 votes were polled and none of the votes were invalid. Kamal got 42% more votes than the total votes obtained by Hari and Lalit together. If Lalit obtained only 8% of the total polled votes, find the number of votes obtained by Hari. 

Correct option is D

Given:

Total number of votes polled = 6050

Kamal got 42% more votes than the total votes obtained by Hari and Lalit together

Lalit votes = 8% of the total polled votes

Concept and Formula Used:

Percentage Concept;

Percentage of vote one candidate received =$$\frac{\text{vote received by one candidate}}{\text{Total votes polled}} \times 100$$​​

Solution:

As per the question;

Let total votes obtained by Hari and Lalit together = 100x

Kamal got vote = 142x

ATQ,

242x – 6050

x -- 25

so, total vote obtained by Hari and Lalit together = 2500

Lalit obtained 8% of the total vote = 242x × 8% = 242× 25 × 8/100 = 484

Votes obtained by Hari = 2500 – 484 = 2016
