Given : In an assembly election at Surat, the total turnout was
80% out of which 16% of the total voters on the vot-ing list were declared invalid
(There were only three contestants, only one winner and the total
number of voters on the voters' list was 20000.)
candidate who came second got 20% of the total voters on the voting list.
To Find : percentage votes got by the winner of the election
Solution:
total number of voters on the voters' list was 20000
total turnout was 80% out = (80/100) 20000 = 16000
invalid votes = (16/100) 20000 = 3200
Valid Votes = 16000 - 3200 = 12800
Person who came second got = (20/100) 20000 = 4000
Maximum votes by winner < 12800 - 4000 = 8800
Minimum Votes > 12800 - (4000 - 4000)
> 4800
4800 < votes by winner < 8800
24 % < votes by winner < 44 %
percentage votes got by the winner of the election = between 24 % to 44 % of voting list.
