Question : In an election, a candidate who got 73% of the votes is elected by a majority of 1426 votes. If 20% of votes are invalid, then what is the total number of votes polled?

Option 1: 1878

Option 2: 4824

Option 3: 2865

Option 4: 3875

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 3875


Solution : Let the total votes be 100.
Invalid votes = 20%
Valid votes = 80%
Total votes got by winning candidate = 73% of valid votes = $73\times\frac{80}{100}=58.4$
Total votes got by losing candidate = 27% of valid votes = $27\times\frac{80}{100}=21.6$
Difference = 58.4 – 21.6
