Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 16800

Given:

Percentage of voters cast their vote = 75%

Invalid vote percentage = 2%

Candidate got votes 75% of valid votes = 9261

Calculation:

Let us take the total number of voters be x

casted vote % = 75% of x 

valid casted vote = 98% of 75% of x

⇒ 75% of total valid vote = 75% of 98% of 75% of x

⇒ 9261 = 3/4 × 3/4 × 98/100 × x  

⇒ x = (1029 × 16 × 100)/98

⇒ x = 16800 

∴ The total number of voters will 16800
