Question

1) in an election between two candidates, one got 55% of the total valid votes and got 20% invalid votes. At the end of the day when the total number of votes were counted, the total number was found to be 7500. So what was the total number of valid votes that the winning candidate got, was: a) 2400 b) 3100 c) 3400 d) 2700

Answer 1

Answer:

d.2700

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of votes = 7500

Given that 20% of Percentage votes were invalid

=> Valid votes = 80%

Total valid votes = 7500×80100

1st candidate got 55% of the total valid votes.

Hence the 2nd candidate should have got 45% of the total valid votes

=> Valid votes that 2nd candidate got = total valid votes ×45100=7500×80100×45100=75×45×45=75×4×9=300×9=2700

2700

Answer 2

Answer:

one of the candidate got up 55% of the total valid votes

and the in valid votes are 20%

the total votes 7500

the total in valid votes=20/100×7500

=1500

the total valid votes =7500-1500=6000

the candidate got up 55% means =55/100×6000is =3400
