Explanation:
Let the number of votes enrolled be x
Votes cast = (90/100 × x) = 9x/10
Valid votes = 90% of 9x/10 = (90/100 × 9x/10) = 81x/100
Votes polled by successful candidate
= (54/100 × 81x/100) = 4374x/10000
Votes polled by defeated candidate
= (46/100 × 81x/100) = 3726x/10000
=> 4374x – 3726x = 16200000
=> x = 16200000/648 = 25000
