Option 1: 45000

Option 2: 50000

Option 3: 40000

Option 4: 30000

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 50000


Solution : Total number of votes polled = $y$
Number of invalid votes = 40% of $y$ = $\frac{40y}{100}$ = $\frac{2y}{5}$
Number of valid votes = $1-\frac{2y}{5} = \frac{3y}{5}$
Votes of the winning candidate = 60% of $\frac{3y}{5} = \frac{60×3y}{100×5} = \frac{9y}{25}$
Votes of the lost candidate
