Correct Answer: 8640


Solution : Total votes = 40000
Invalid votes = 10%
Valid votes = 90% = $\frac{90}{100}\times40000=36000$
Now, the votes of Rajat = 36%
Votes of Pooja = 40%
$\therefore$ Votes of Abha = 100 – 36 – 40 = 24% of valid votes = $\frac{24}{100}\times 36000=8640$
Hence, the correct answer is 8640.
