An election was fought between two candidates. 68 votes were declared invalid. The winning candidate gets 52% votes and wins the election by 98 votes. Find the number of total votes.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
[Winning votes% = winner votes% - loser votes%]
(Total votes - 68) × \(\frac{1}{25}\) = 98
Total votes = (98 × 25) + 68
Total votes = 2518
