In an election between two candidates, one got 55% of the total valid votes and total 20% votes were invalid. At the end of the day when the total number of votes were counted, the total number was found to be 7500. So what was the total number of valid votes that the loosing candidate got:
A)4800 B)2400 C)3400 D)2700 E)None of these

• Since 20% votes were invalid, so, valid votes are 80%of7500 = 6000
  And one candidate got 55% the other got 45%
  So, 45% of 6000 = 2700
  So, the other candidate got 2700 votes only

• total 20% are invalid that means 80 % are valid
  (80/100)*7500=6000
  in 6000 valid votes one got 55% then other will get 45%
  so 45%of 6000=2700 is answer
