Rajat, Pooja and Abha participate in the election. If the total votes polled are 40,000, and 10% of the votes are invalid. Rajat got 36% of the valid votes, and Pooja got 40% of the valid votes. Then find the number of votes Abha got.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 8640.
Total valid votes = 40000 × 0.9 = 36000
Percentage of valid votes of Abha = (100 - 36 - 40) = 24%
Abha got valid votes = (24/100) × 36000 = 8640
