%ofvalidvotes=75%−2%of75%
=(75−1.5)%=73.5%
∴73.5% of total no. of votes =12348
⇒Totalno.ofvoters=

Given : at election between two candidates a and b all the eligible voters had voted but 4% of votes were not valid
a the winner got support from 52% of the voters and defeated B by 600 voters
To Find : the total number of voters
Solution:
Let say the total number of voters = 100x
4% of votes were not valid = (4/100)100x = 4x
Valid Votes = 100x - 4x = 96x
a the winner got support from 52% of the voters
= (52/100)100x
= 52x
b the looser got = 96x -52x = 44x votes
Difference = 52x - 44x = 8x
8x = 600
=> x = 600/8
=> 100x = 100 * 600/8
=> 100x = 7500
Hence the total number of voters = 7500
