In an election, 20% of the people have not polled their votes and 120 votes were not valid. A wins on B by securing 200 votes more and thus gaining 40%of the total votes. Find the % votes secured by B
>37%
>41%
>45%
>56%
not sure with options :P

• let total votes =1000
  205 people have not polledso remaining is =800
  120 votes are not valid (800-120)=680
  votes taken by B Is y
  than y+200=(680*40/100)=>
  y=72
  total votes secured by B is 7.2%

• let there be 1000 votes 80% people are voted so there is 800 votes in which 120 are unvalid therefore 800-120=680. so total 680 votes are legal.
  let A got x votes
  B got y votes
  Given x+200=y
  and x+y=680
  so by solving we got x=440,y=240
  so 240 is 35.29% of 680.
  so b secure 35.29% of total votes

• 40% IS GIVEN WHIh is 200..
