In an election, two candidates participated. 20% of voters didn't cast their votes. 20% of the remaining are declared invalid. One candidate got 38% of the total votes and won by 9600 votes. Find the total number of voters and number of cast votes.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
Let Total Votes = 100
Cast votes = 100 × 80% = 80
Valid Votes = 80 × 80% = 64
Candidate A got = 38% of total votes = 38% × 100 = 38
Candidate B got = 64 - 38 = 26
A won by = 38 - 26 = 12
ATQ,
12R = 9600 (given)
1R = 800
Total Voters = 100 × 800 = 80,000
Cast votes = 80 × 800 = 64,000
