Let the number of votes polled be 100
Loser got the votes 42
⇒ Winner got the vote=100−42=58
The difference of the votes between loser and winner is 16
Votes polled difference
100 16
? 14400
100×14400/16=90000
Total number of votes polled=90000
Total number of voters eligible for voting=100000
Numbers of voters who did not vote=10000
100000/10000×100=10%
