Step-by-step solution

6 steps

Let TT be the total number of voters in the list.

  1. Determine the number of votes Ramagya received.

    Ramagya was supported by 54% of all the voters in the list.

    Votes for Ramagya=0.54T\text{Votes for Ramagya} = 0.54T
  2. Calculate the number of voters who cast their votes.

    12% of the voters did not cast their votes.

    Voters who cast votes=T−0.12T=0.88T\text{Voters who cast votes} = T - 0.12T = 0.88T
  3. Calculate the number of valid votes.

    84 voters cast blank ballot papers.

    Valid votes=Voters who cast votes−Blank votes=0.88T−84\text{Valid votes} = \text{Voters who cast votes} - \text{Blank votes} = 0.88T - 84
  4. Determine the number of votes Shravan received.

    The total valid votes are distributed between Ramagya and Shravan.

    Votes for Shravan=Valid votes−Votes for Ramagya\text{Votes for Shravan} = \text{Valid votes} - \text{Votes for Ramagya} Votes for Shravan=(0.88T−84)−0.54T\text{Votes for Shravan} = (0.88T - 84) - 0.54T Votes for Shravan=0.34T−84\text{Votes for Shravan} = 0.34T - 84
  5. Use the difference in votes to set up an equation.

    Ramagya got 1456 more votes than Shravan.

    Votes for Ramagya−Votes for Shravan=1456\text{Votes for Ramagya} - \text{Votes for Shravan} = 1456 0.54T−(0.34T−84)=14560.54T - (0.34T - 84) = 1456 0.54T−0.34T+84=14560.54T - 0.34T + 84 = 1456 0.20T+84=14560.20T + 84 = 1456
  6. Solve for TT.

    0.20T=1456−840.20T = 1456 - 84 0.20T=13720.20T = 1372 T=13720.20T = \frac{1372}{0.20} T=137220100T = \frac{1372}{\frac{20}{100}} T=1372×10020T = \frac{1372 \times 100}{20} T=1372×5T = 1372 \times 5 T=6860T = 6860

    The total number of voters in the list is 6860. This matches option (d).

    The final answer is 6860\text{6860}.
