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:

12700
22900
33000
43100

Answer:- 1

Explanation:-

Solution:

Number of valid votes = 80% of 7500 = 6000.
∴ Valid votes polled by other candidate = 45% of 6000

$= \left( {\frac{{45}}{{100}} \times 6000} \right) = 2700.$
