In an election two candidates participated. 20% votes declare invalid and the winner gets 70% of the valid votes and won by 9600 votes. Find total voters in the list.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
Let x be total votes
x × 80% = Valid votes
(The winner won by 40% of valid votes from the looser)
x × 80% × 40% = 9600
x × \(\frac{80}{100}\) × \(\frac{40}{100}\) = 9600
x = 30,000
