Q:

In an election between two candidates K and L, the number of valid votes received by K exceeds those received by L by 15% of the total number of votes polled. If 20% of the votes polled were invalid and a total of 8720 votes were polled, then how many valid votes did L get ?

A) 3241 B) 2457
C) 2642 D) 2834
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 2834

Explanation:

Let the total number of votes polled in the election be 100k.
Number of valid votes = 100k - 20% (100k) = 80k
Let the number of votes polled in favour of K and L be a and b respectively.
a - b = 15% (100k) => a = b + 15k
=> a + b = b + 15k + b
Now, 2b + 15k = 80k and hence b = 32.5k
It is given that 100k = 8720
32.5k = 32.5k/100k x 8720 = 2834

The number of valid votes polled in favour of L is 2834.
