      A 49,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 54,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 60,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 75,100 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the total number of votes be '100n'

      Number of valid votes = 0.85 ├Ч 100n = 85n

      Number of valid votes received by 'S' = 0.42 ├Ч 85n = 35.7n

      So, 35.7n = 19,278

      Or, n = 540

      Therefore, total number of votes = 540 ├Ч 100 = 54,000
