In an election between two candidates, one got 55% of 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 :

a. 2700
b. 2900
c. 3000
d. 3100

• 2700
  20 %of 7500 i.e 1500 vote were invalid. hence 6000 valid votes
  now 45 % votes are those valid votes who got by the candidate who lost hence 45 % of 6000 is 2700

• ans is :2700
  total number of votes : 7500
  invalid votes are : 7500*(20/100) =1500
  then valid votes are : 7500-1500 = 6000
  one member got : 6000*(55/100) = 3300
  other candidate got : 6000-3300 = 2700

• ans=2700.
  {
  total=7500,
  20% of 7500=1500, >> 7500-1500=6000,
  >>>now 55% of 6000 valid votes=3300,,,
  therfor,,, 6000-3300= "2700" .
  hence proved.
