In an assembly election of two candidates, the winner got 56% of the total valid votes. 5% of the total votes were declared invalid. If the total number of voters is 3,20,000 then what is the number of valid votes polled for the winning candidate?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
Number of valid votes = 320000 × \(\frac{95}{100}\)
= 320000 × \(\frac{19}{20}\)
= 304,000.
Votes of winner = 304000 × \(\frac{56}{100}\)
= 304000 × \(\frac{14}{25}\)
= 170240
