In an election between two candidates, 75% of the voters cast their votes, out of which 2% votes were declared invalid. A candidate got 9261 votes which were 75% of the valid votes. The total number of voters enrolled in that election was
-
- 16000
- 16400
- 16800
- 18000
Correct Option: C
Let the total number of voters enrolled be x.
Number of votes polled
= 75% of x = | ||
4 |
Number of valid votes
= | - | × | ||||
4 | 100 | 4 |
= | - | |||
4 | 200 |
= | ||
200 |
Now, 75% of | = 9261 | |
200 |
or | of | = 9261 | ||
4 | 200 |
or x = | = 16800 | |
3 × 147 |
