In an election between two candidates, Ravi gets 65% of total valid votes. If total votes were 6000, what is the number of valid votes that the other candidate Sushil gets, if 25% of total votes were invalid?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
25% = \(\frac{1}{4}\) & 65% = \(\frac{13}{20}\)
Total number of votes = 6000
Valid votes = \(\frac{3}{4}\) × 6000 = 4500
Votes of Ravi = 65% of 4500
= \(\frac{13}{20}\) × 4500 = 2925
So , Votes of Sushil = 4500 - 2925
= 1575
