Question Detail

In an election between two candidates, 75 % of the voters cast their votes, out of which 2% of the votes were declared invalid. A candidate got 9261 votes which were 75% of the total valid votes. Find the total number of votes.

16800

15800

16700

15700

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Let the total number of votes enrolled are x.

Number of votes cast = 75% of x

Valid votes = 98% of 75% of x

Now, as 9261 is the 75% of valid casted votes so,

75% of 98% of 75% of x = 9261 [imporant]

\begin{align}

=> \frac{75 \times 98 \times 75 \times x}{100 \times 100 \times 100} = 9261 \\

=> x = 16800

\end{align}
