Question
In an election between two candidates, 75% of the voters cast thier votes, out of which 2% of the votes were declared invalid. A candidate got 9261 votes which were 75% of the total valid votes. Find the total number of votes enrolled in that election?
Answer: Option A
- Let the number of votes enrolled be a.
Then,Number of votes cast =75% of a.
Valid votes = 98% of (75% of a). 75% of (98% of (75%of a)) =9261.
[(75/100) x (98/100) x (75/100)x a] =9261.
a = [(9261 x 100x 100 x 100)/(75 x 98 x 75)] =16800
