Question 15
In a general body election, 3 candidates, P, Q and R were contesting for a membership of the board. How many votes did each receive?
(I) p received 17 votes more than q and 103 votes more than r.
(II) Total votes cast were 1703.
Solution
Let the votes received by P = p, Q = q, R = r.
We can form 2 eqns. from the statements given:
p = 17 + q = 103 + r
Total votes cast = 1703
using all 3 eqns,
p + q + r = 1703
$$\therefore\ $$ Both statement I and II together are necessary to answer the question.
