there are two candidates p and q in an election.During the
campaign,40% of the voters promised to vote for P ,and rest
for Q.however, on the day of election 15% of the voter went
back on their promise to vote for P and instead voted for Q.
25% of the voters went back on their promise to vote for Q
and instead voted for P.suppose,P lost by two votes,then

These are the kind of questions which makes us confuse
because of the use of percentage of percentage.
For simplicity, we can take 100% people as x number of people.
So, now as we have assumed, we have total x number of voters.
Now, according to question,
Total voters for P = 40% of x = 0.4x
Total voters for Q = 60% of x = 0.6x
Now, on the day of voting:
P lost 15 % of his voters and got 25% of Q's votes.
So, Votes for P = 0.4x - 0.15*0.4x + 0.25*0.6x
similarly, votes for Q = 0.6x - 0.25*0.6x + 0.15*0.4x
Now, P lost by 2 votes.
So, Votes of Q - votes of P = 2
Putting these values of P and Q's votes, we have
(0.6x - 0.25*0.6x + 0.15*0.4x) - (0.4x - 0.15*0.4x +
0.25*0.6x) = 2
This gives x as 100.
Thus total voters are 100.
For making this question more simple, take an assumption as
100% people = 100 people. It will make everything easy.. :)

Calculate the maximum pressure drop that can be allowed to occur across a control valve, so that we can prevent cavitation / flashing from occurring. Use the following formula: Δ P allow = Km (P1 – PvapourA) where, Δ P allow - the maximum allowable differential pressure for sizing purposes, or terminal pressure drop; Km- the valve recovery coefficient from the manufacturer’s catalogue; P1 - absolute inlet fluid pressure; PvapourA - absolute fluid vapour pressure at the inlet temperature; Use Atmospheric pressure = 101.3 kPa, P1 = 1200 kPa(g), PvapourA = 4 kPa, KM = 0.72
