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.
