Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 1 : 3.
Village P:
Total votes = 40,000
Votes polled = 80% of 40,000 = 32,000
Valid votes = 90% of 32,000 = 28,800
Invalid votes = 32,000 - 28,800 = 3,200
Village S:
Total votes = 80,000
Votes polled = 80% of 80,000 = 64,000
Valid votes = 85% of 64,000 = 54,400
Invalid votes = 64,000 - 54,400 = 9,600
Ratio of invalid votes (P : S) = 3,200 : 9,600 = 1 : 3
