In an election between two candidates, the winning candidate got 70% of the valid votes and won by a majority of 9000 votes. If out of total votes polled 90% votes are valid, then what is the total number of votes polled?1). 300002). 250003). 225004). 27000

Answer»

VALID votes of winning candidate = 70%

Valid votes of LOSING candidate = 30%

Difference of valid votes of winning and losing candidates = 70% - 30% = 40%

⇒ 40% = 9000

10% = 2250

⇒ 100% = 22500 = TOTAL valid votes

∴ Total no. of votes polled = 22500 × 100/90 = 25000
