5000*14/100=4300
4300 total vote
4300*14/100
602
a win with 2451

14%of 5000=700
valid votes 5000-700=4300
14% of 4300=602
A has 602 more votes than other one
so that A secured 2150+602=2752 votes

guys here is a clear explination
given that 14% of 5000 votes are invalid ie.(14/100)5000=700
therefore valid votes are 5000-700=4300
i.e A+B=4300----------1
and given that A won by margin of 14% i.e A got (14/100)*4300 votes more than B
which is equal to 602
i.e A=B+602
A-B=602--------2
solve 1 and 2
we will get A=2451
and B=1849

14% of 5000 = 700
so valid votes =5000-700=4300
let loser get x votes, so winner gets (x+3x/20)=23x/20 votes
so x+23x/20=4300
43x/20=4300
x=2000
23x/20 = 2300
