Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The Correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 236171.
Total number of voters = Total number of votes = 332000
1.2% of the total votes were invalid = 332000 × 1.2%
⇒ 332000 × 1.2/100 = 3984
Valid votes = 332000 - 3984 = 328016
72% of the valid votes = 236171.52 or 236171 votes polled in favor of the candidate
