wrong information/answer (Question:947651.0)

here 60%of valid vote=12000
how it be, (valid vote)of1/5=12000 ??

Question:

In an election, two candidates participated, 10% voters did not vote, 3000 votes declared invalid and the winner gets 60% of the valid votes and wins by 12000 votes, then find the number of votes in the voting list.

Options:
A)

70000

B)

72400

C)

75600

D)

78200

E)

None of these

Solution:


Alternate sol.:

Let's Total number of voters be x

if 10% of total voters did not vote then remaining votes % is 90%ofx

ATQ

60%of (90%of x- 3000) - 20% of (90%of x- 3000)=12000

20%of(90%of x- 3000) = 12000

(90%of x- 3000)=\(\cfrac{(12000\times100)}{20}\)

\(\cfrac{(90\times x)}{100}=60000+3000=63,000\)

x=70,000

Dear student, As per the question, Winner gets 60% votes Looser gets 100-60=40% So this means that winner wins by 60-40=20% votes 20%=20/100=1/5 That's why 1/5 has been taken. Team TR
