Correct Answer: 15%


Solution : Given: A total of 7,50,000 voters participated in an election.
A candidate received 3,82,500 votes, which was 60% of the total valid votes.
So, total valid votes = $\frac{382500}{60}×100=637500$
Invalid votes = 750000 – 637500 = 112500
$\therefore$ Percentage of invalid votes $=(\frac{112500}{750000}×100)=15\%$
Hence, the correct answer is 15%.
