    In an election between two candidates, one got 55% of the total valid votes, 20% of the votes were invalid. If the total number of votes was 7500, the number of valid votes that the other candidate got, was :

    ক)
    2500
    খ)
    2700
    গ)
    2900
    ঘ)
    3100

    Explanation

    Total number of votes = 7500 Given that 20% of Percentage votes were invalid => Valid votes = 80% Total valid votes = 7500 ×\times (80/100) 1st candidate got 55% of the total valid votes. Hence the 2nd candidate should have got 45% of the total valid votes => Valid votes that 2nd candidate got = total valid votes x (45/100) 7500 ×\times (80/100) ×\times (45/100) = 2700
