Hi Tigmanshu Tiwari, Previous: P - 500-3x, Q - 3x Current: P - 500-4x, Q - 4x It is given, 2(500-3x-3x) = 4x-500+4x x = 75 Number of seats of the Q in new government = 4*75 = 300 Hope this helps!

Answer:300 Explanation: Qn-Pn = 2( Po-Qo) as it states Q enjoys twice majority than that of party p in previous govt. in other words the difference of seats with which Qnew/Qn won against Pn is twice the difference of seats when P(old)/Po won against Qo. ratio b/w Qn:Qo is 4x : 3x (Qn is 33.33% more than Qo ) Pn = 500 - Qn & Po = 500- Qo Pn = 500-4x & Po = 500-3x now solving that equation 4x -( 500 -4x) = 2 [(500-3x) -3x] x = 75 therefore Qn= 4x = 75*4 = 300 seats.
