In a state election between two parties, 83% of the voters cast their votes, out of which 4% of the votes were declared invalid. Party A got 156611 votes which were 83% of the total valid votes. Find the total number of votes enrolled in that election. (Consider integer part only)
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 2,36,807.
Let the total number of votes enrolled be x.
According to the given question,
Number of voters who cast their votes = 83% of x
Number of valid votes = 96% of 83% of x
Vots got by party A = 83% of valid votes
⇒ = 156611
⇒ x = 236807
