58.10% of the votes did not cast their vote in an election between two candidates. 10% of the votes polled were found invalid. The successful candidate got 54% of the valid votes and won by a majority of 1620 votes. The number of votes enrolled on the voters list was:
[A] 25000
[C] 35000
[B] 33000
[D] 40000
Answer : [A]
Explanation :
|
|
| Let the total number of voters be x. Then, Votes polled = 90% of x. |
|
|
| Valid votes = 90% of (90% of x) |
|
|
| | 54% of [90% of (90% of x)] - 46% of [90% of (90% of x)] = 1620 |
|
|
| |
|
|
| | 8% of [90% of (90% of x)] = 1620 |
| |
|
|
| |
| | x | | x | | x x = 1620 | | x = |
| | 1620 x 100 x 100 x 100 | | 8 x 90 x 90 | |
| = 25000 |
