Answer 1

$total \: votes \: polled \: = 64200 \\ invalid \: votes = \frac{6}{100} \: of \: 64200 = 3852 \\ so \: valid \: votes \: = 64200 - 3852 = 60348 \\ now \: since \: ram \: got \: 75\% \: of \: total \: valid \: vote \: so \: shyam \: got \: 25\% \: of \: total \: valid \: volid \: vote \\ hence \: shyam \: got \: = 25\% \: of \: 60348 = \frac{25}{100} \times 60348 = 15087$
