Question

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge\underline\bold {Answer:}$

Total votes = 6000

Invalid votes = 25% of 6000 = 0.25 × 6000

= 1500

Therefore valid votes = 6000 – 1500 = 4500

Bhiku gets 65% of the valid votes.

=> Mhatre gets 35% of the valid votes.

Therefore votes got by Mhatre = 35% of 4500

= 35/100 × 4500 = 1575.
