In an election between two candidates, Ravi gets 65% of total valid votes. If total votes were 6000, what is the number of valid votes that the other candidate Sushil gets, if 25% of total votes were invalid?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 1575
Ravi's votes = 65% of 75 % of total votes
= 65 × 75 × 6000 /{100 × 100}
= 2925
Valid votes = 75% of 6000
= 4500
Votes cast to Sushil = valid votes - Ravi's votes
= 4500- 2,925 = 1575
