    B) 40
    C) 10
    D) 35
    E) None
    View Answer
    Option B
    Solution:

    Let the smaller number be x and larger number be y.
    According to the question,
    80% of x + 4 = 40% of y
    4y – 8x = 40
    y – 2x = 10 ——— (1)
    y – x = 50 ———– (2)
    By using (1) and (2), we get
    x = 40
    y = 90

    C) 2%
    D) 3%
    E) None
    View Answer
    Option D
    Solution:

    Total voters on the voter list = x
    51/100x + 51/100x – 4800 = 70/100x – 1600
    102x/100 – 4800 = 70/100x – 1600
    32x/100=3200
    x = 10000
    Votes of the loser candidate = 5100 – 4800 = 300
    Percentage votes of the loser candidate = 300/10000 * 100 = 3%
