      Question

      In an election, 20% of the voters did not vote. Of the

      valid votes, candidate A got 55% and candidate B got 45%. If A won by 1800 votes, then the total number of voters was:
      A 33200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 34200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 22500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 40520 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ, Difference in votes = 55% - 45% = 10% of valid votes So, 10% of valid votes = 1800 Valid votes = 1800 x 100/10 = 18000 These valid votes are 80% of total voters. Total voters = 18000 x 100/80 = 22500
