    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
