Answer 2

Given : In an election between two candidates, a person who got 60% of valid votes won the election by a margin of 760 votes.   95% of votes were valid

To find : Number of Invalid votes

Solution:

Let say total  Votes =  100V

Valid  votes = (95/100)100V  = 95V

Invalid Votes = 100V - 95V = 5V

Winner candidate got = 60 %  of Valid votes = (60/100)95V

= 57V  

Loser candidate got = 95V - 57V = 38V

Margin = 57V  - 38V  =  19V

19V = 760

=> V = 40

Invalid Votes = 5 * 40 = 200

the number of invalid votes = 200
