In an election between two candidates, 75% of the voters cast thier 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.
Options:
A . 16810
B . 16811
C . 16801
D . 16800
Answer: Option D
Let the number of votes enrolled be x. Then , Number of votes cast =75% of x. Valid votes = 98% of (75% of x). 75% of (98% of (75%of x)) =9261. [(75/100)*(98/100)*(75/100)*x] =9261. X = [(9261*100*100*100)/(75*98*75)] =16800.
