Question : Two candidates contested an election. One of them got 64% of the votes and won by 434 votes. What was the total number of votes polled?

Option 1: 1550

Option 2: 1345

Option 3: 1680

Option 4: 1684

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 1550


Solution : Given:
The candidate got 64% of the total votes.
Let the total number of votes be $x$.
⇒ Votes received by winner = 64% of $x=\frac{64x}{100}$
According to the question,
$\frac{64x}{100}−(x−\frac{64x}{100})=434$
⇒ $\frac{64x}{100}−\frac{36x}{100}=434$
⇒ $\frac{28x}{100}=434$
$\therefore x=1550$
Hence, the correct answer is 1550.

Question : The length of the sides of a triangle is $a, b,$ and $c$ respectively if $a^2 + b^2 + c^ 2 = ab + bc + ca$, then the triangle is:

Option 1: Isosceles

Option 2: Equilateral

Option 3: Scalene

Option 4: Right-angled

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Equilateral

Multiplying both sides by 2,
$⇒2(a^2 + b^2 + c^2) = 2(ab + bc + ca)$
$⇒a^2 - 2ab + b^2 + b^2 - 2bc + c^2 + c^2 - 2ca + a^2
