in an election an amount of votes was share among parties A,B and C in the ratio of 1:2:4. How many votes party B obtained if party C got 1500 more votes than A?​

Respuesta :

1000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the share of votes obtained by the parties A, B and C be x, 2x and 4x respectively.

According to the given information:

No of votes obtained by C = 1500 + No of votes obtained by A

[tex] \therefore 4x = 150. + x \\\\

\therefore 4x - x = 1500\\\\

\therefore 3x = 1500\\\\

\therefore x = \frac{1500}{3} \\\\

\therefore x = 500\\\\

\because Votes \:obtained\: by \:B = 2x \\\\

\therefore Votes \:obtained\: by \:B = 2\times 500\\\\

\purple {\bold {\therefore Votes \:obtained\: by \:B = 1000}} \\\\[/tex]
