In an assembly election, a candidate got 60% of the total valid votes. 2% of the total votes were declared invalid. If the total number of voters is 1,50,000, then find the number of valid votes polled in favour of that candidate.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
Total votes = 150000
Valid votes = 150000 × \(\frac{100-2}{100}\) = 147000
votes of winner = 147000 × \(\frac{60}{100}\) = 88200
