In an election between 2 candidates, 60 % voters cast their votes out of which 5% votes declare invalid. A candidate got 30% of the total votes and won by 300 votes. Find the total no. of voters in the list.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
Lat the total voters = 100
Cast votes= 100 × 60% = 0
Invalid votes = 60 × 5% = 3
Valid votes = 60 - 3 = 57
Now, ATQ
Winner gets = 100 × 30% = 30
So looser gets = Valid votes - winner votes
= 57 - 30 = 27
Winner won by = 30 - 27 = 03 votes,
3R = 300
1R = 100
Total voters in the list was= 100 × 100 = 10000
