80% of the voter participated in an election. There were only two candidates Ram and Shyam. Ram got 42% of total votes and defeated Shyam by 400 votes. Thus how many total votes did Ram get?—

Explanation

∵ Ram got 42% votes ∴ Shyam got (80-42)% = 38% votes Thus, the difference of their votes (42-38)% = 400 (According to question) 4% = 400 1% = 100 Hence, Ram got votes = $42 \times 100 = 4200$
