Step-by-step explanation:
Number of invalid votes =3875
Number of votes received by defeated candidate =768972
Defeat margin =37545
Number of votes received by winner candidate = 768972 + 37545
= 806517
Number of total votes polled = Invalid votes + votes get by defeated candidate + votes received by winner candidate
= 806517+768972+3875
= 1,579,364
Hence, total number of votes polled 1579364
