Answer:
1575 Votes
Step-by-step explanation:
In an election between 2 candidates :
the total votes were 6000,
25% of the total votes were declared invalid
=> Votes Declared invalid = (25/100) * 6000 = 1500
Valid Votes = 6000 - 1500 = 4500
Candidate A gets 65% of Valid Votes
=> Candidate A gets = (65/100) * 4500 = 2925
Other Candidate will get = 4500 - 2925 = 1575 Votes
