Question 1 & 2

Question 1: 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

a 2700, b 2900, c 3000 ( Assistant Director IB FPSC 2018)

Solution:

This is simply a percentage calculation problem;

Total votes =7500 (given)

Total invalid votes = 20% of total votes

$\Rightarrow Invalid Votes=20% of 7500$

$Invalid Votes = \frac{20}{100}\times 7500=1500$

So Valid votes = 7500-1500=600

First Candidate

First candidate get 55% of total valid votes

$\Rightarrow Votes First Candidate=55% of 6000$

$=\frac{55}{100}\times 6000=3300$

Second Candidate

Votes by second candidate =Total Valid Votes – Votes by First Candidate =6000-3300=2700

So the option ‘a’ is the answer
