In an election the winning candidate got $628246$ votes, his nearest rival got $4,52,752$ votes and the third candidate got $67,350$ votes. If $3,846$votes were declared invalid what was the total number of votes polled in the constituency?

Answer 1

Find the total votes:

Given,

Votes of winning candidate $=6,28,246$

Votes of nearest rival $=4,52,752$

Votes of the third candidate $=67,350$

Invalid votes $=3,846$

Total no. of votes polled in the constituency

$=$ Votes of winning candidate $+$ Votes of nearest rival $+$ Votes of the third candidate $+$ Invalid votes

$=$ $6,28,246+4,52,752+67,350+3,846$

$=$ $11,52,194$ votes

Hence, total $11,52,194$ votes were casted in the constituency.
