• A. $1625$
• B. $1575$
• C. $1675$
• D. $1525$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $1575$

Total votes were $6000$
Invalid votes oftotal votes is $25\%$
$\therefore$ Total valid votes is $35\%$
Number of total votes is $75\%$
Number of total valid votes $=6000\times \frac{75}{100}=4500$
Other candidate gets $35\%$ of total valid votes
$\therefore$ Other candidates valid votes
$=4500\times \frac{35}{100}=1575$
6000
