- The ratio of votes received by two candidates is given as 4:9.

- Let the votes for the first candidate be 4x and for the second (successful) candidate be 9x.

- The successful candidate received 984,321 votes. Thus, 9x = 984,321.

- Solving for x gives: x = 984,321 / 9 = 109,369.

- Total votes = 4x + 9x = 13x.

- Calculate total votes: 13x = 13 * 109,369 = 1,421,797.

Option 2 – 1,421,797 is the correct answer.
