Q. In an election between two candidates, one got 55% of the total valid votes, 20% of the votes were invalid. If the total number of votes was 7500, the number of valid votes that the other candidate got, was:

Option
A. 2700
B. 2900
C. 3000
D. 3100

• 20% invalid votes......7500 * 20/100=1500
  total valid votes are......7500-1500=6000
  out of this 6000 valid votes 55% votes got the one candidate..i.e.6000 * 55/100=3300
  so the second candidate got the votes are 6000-3300=2700

• answer would be A=2700
  because 7500*20%=6000(valid votes)
  6000*55%=3300
  6000-3300=2700

• Number of valid votes = 80% of 7500
  =(80/100)*7500=6000.
  Valid votes polled by other candidate must be=45% of 6000
  (45/100)*6000=2700.
  By doing this i am getting the ans 2700 valid votes got by other candidate

• A. 2700
  As T=7500;
  20%T = 1500;
  out of 80% first person got 55%= 3300
  other person will get 2700
