Question

In a chief election, a candidate got 55% of the total valid votes. 6% of the total votes were declared invalid. If the total number of votes is 30,000, then the number of valid votes polled in favour of the candidate is:

A.

15510

B.

16000

C.

15000

D.

15500

Correct option is A

Given:

Total number of votes = 30000

Invalid votes = 6%

Candidate secured = 55%

Solution:

Total votes = 30000

Invalid votes = 6% of 30000 = 6100×30000\frac{6}{100}\times30000 = 1800

Total valid votes = 30000 - 1800 = 28200

Candidate secured = 55% of 28200 = 55100×28200\frac{55}{100}\times 28200 = 15510
