a) 22500

b) 25500

c) 27500

d) 30000

correct answer is: c) 27500

Explanation

Let,
The total number of voters 'x'.
According to the question,
Percentage of votes cast = (100\% - 8\%) = 92\%
Now,
Winner got 48\% of the total votes.
\therefore Loser got (92\% - 48\%) = 44\% of the total votes.
Now,
Difference between winner and loser =\left(48\%-44\%\right)
\rightarrow 4\%
Given, 4\% of total votes cast = 1100
\therefore Total votes cast = \large\frac{1100 \times 100}{4}
\rightarrow 27500
\therefore The total number of voters = 27500.
Ans: 27500 is the total number of voters.
