Solution
Given,
The ratio of cast vote for two candidates is 4 : 9
let the vote cast for two candidates is 4x and 9x.
winning candidate gets 9x votes = 984321 (given)
$$9x\ =\ 984321$$
$$\therefore\ x\ =\ \frac{984321}{9}=109369$$
Total votes polled = 9x + 4x = 13x
$$\therefore109369\times\ 13=1421797$$1
Hence, Option B is correct.
