In an election between two candidates, Ananth and Aravind, Ananth got 55% of the total valid votes, and 20% of the votes were invalid. If the total number of votes was 30,000, find the number of valid votes that Aravind got.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 10800.
According to the given question,
Total valid votes = 80% of 30000 = 24000
Votes received by Aravind = (100% - 55%) of 24000
⇒ 24000 × 45/100 = 10800
