In an election between two candidates, one got 60% of the total valid votes, 90% of the votes were valid. If the total number of votes 12000, then what was the number of valid votes that the other candidate are got?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Given :-
Total number of votes = 12000
Valid votes = 90% of 12000
= 12000 × \(\frac{9}{10}\) = 10800
1st candidate got 60% of the total votes then 2nd candidate got 40%
Valid votes of 2nd candidate = 40% of total valid votes
= 10800 × \(\frac{2}{5}\)
= 4320
Votes of 2nd candidates 4320
