(D) Let the total number of voters be $100x$.Number of voters who did not cast their votes $= 8\% 	ext{ of } 100x = 8x$.Number of votes polled $= 100x - 8x = 92x$.The winner obtained $48\% 	ext{ of the total votes} = 48x$.Number of votes obtained by the loser $= 92x - 48x = 44x$.The difference between the winner and the loser $= 48x - 44x = 4x$.Given that the difference is $1100$ votes,we have $4x = 1100$.$x = \frac{1100}{4} = 275$.Total number of voters $= 100x = 100 	imes 275 = 27500$.
