    Percentage

    In an election only two candidates contested 20% of the voters did not vote and 120 votes were declared as invalid. The winner got 200 votes more than his opponent  thus he secured 41% votes of the total voters on the voter list. Percentage votes of the defeated candidate out of the total votes casted is:

    ক)
    47.5%
    খ)
    41%
    গ)
    38%
    ঘ)
    45%

    Explanation

    Let there be x voters and k votes goes to loser then 0.8x - 120 = k + (k + 200) k+200 = 0.41x => k = 1440 and  (k + 200) =1640 Therefore  1440/3200 ×\times 100 = 45%
