Question

65.In an election between two candidates, one got 55% of the total valid votes, 20% of the votes were invalid. If the total number of votes was 7500, the number of valid votes that the other candidate got, was:

• A. (a) 2700
• B. (b) 2900
• C. (c) 3000
• D. (d) 3100

Answer 1

The correct option is

D 2700

Explanation:

Number of valid votes = 80% of 7500 = 6000.

Valid votes polled by other candidate = 45% of 6000

= (45/100)*6000=2700
