Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Correct option is
A
2700
Total number of votes =7500
Given that 20% of percentage votes were invalid.
⇒ Valid votes =80%
Total votes valid =7500×(
100
80
)
The 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 go = total valid votes × (
100
45
)
7500×(
100
80
)×(
100
45
)=2700
