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
what was the total no. of voters.

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.. :)

Q1: Consider part of a control loop, which excludes the transmitter, consisting of a process, a controller and a control valve which may be represented by two dead times of 0.5 min each and three exponential lags of 0.8 min., 1.0 min. and 1.5 min. respectively. We wish to express this system as an overall first order plus dead time (FOPLD) model ie gain, time constant and process dead time. (We will see later that this is often done, to simplify controller tuning). For this exercise, gain is considered to be 1.0. (A) If the transmitter is a flow transmitter whose behaviour can be described by a dead time of 0.2 min. and an exponential lag of 0.5 min. in terms of the overall dead time and overall first order lag how can the system behaviour be approximated ? Overall dead time = Overall time constant = (B) If the transmitter is a temperature transmitter with a temperature sensor in a protecting well whose behaviour can be described by a dead time of 0.7 min. and an exponential lag of 15 min. how can the overall system behaviour be approximated now? Overall dead time = Overall time constant =
