The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will define the variables and set up equations based on the information provided. ### Step 1: Define Variables Let: - \( M \) = Total registered male voters - \( F \) = Total registered female voters ### Step 2: Set Up the Relationship Between Male and Female Voters According to the problem, the total registered male voters are 2000 more than the total registered female voters. This can be expressed as: \[ M = F + 2000 \] (Equation 1) ### Step 3: Set Up the Voting Equation We know that a total of 6000 registered voters have cast their votes. The voting percentages are given as: - 70% of male voters voted: \( 0.7M \) - 45% of female voters voted: \( 0.45F \) The equation for the total votes cast can be expressed as: \[ 0.7M + 0.45F = 6000 \] (Equation 2) ### Step 4: Substitute Equation 1 into Equation 2 Now, we will substitute \( M \) from Equation 1 into Equation 2: \[ 0.7(F + 2000) + 0.45F = 6000 \] ### Step 5: Simplify the Equation Expanding the equation: \[ 0.7F + 1400 + 0.45F = 6000 \] Combine like terms: \[ (0.7F + 0.45F) + 1400 = 6000 \] \[ 1.15F + 1400 = 6000 \] ### Step 6: Isolate \( F \) Subtract 1400 from both sides: \[ 1.15F = 6000 - 1400 \] \[ 1.15F = 4600 \] ### Step 7: Solve for \( F \) Now, divide both sides by 1.15 to find \( F \): \[ F = \frac{4600}{1.15} \] \[ F = 4000 \] ### Step 8: Find \( M \) Using Equation 1 to find \( M \): \[ M = F + 2000 \] \[ M = 4000 + 2000 \] \[ M = 6000 \] ### Step 9: Calculate Total Registered Voters The total number of registered voters \( T \) is the sum of male and female voters: \[ T = M + F \] \[ T = 6000 + 4000 \] \[ T = 10000 \] ### Final Answer The total number of registered voters in village-X is **10,000**. ---
