Solution

Calculate the margin by which the successful candidate won

Given,

Number of votes secured by the successful candidate =5,77,500.

Number of votes secured by his nearest rival =3,48,700.

Margin refers to the difference between two amounts. Thus, we need to calculate the difference between the number of votes gained by the winning candidate and his nearest rival.

Thus, the margin by which the successful candidate won=5,77,500-3,48,700

=22,88,00

Therefore, the successful candidate won by a margin of 22,88,00 votes.
