In a particular constituency, 75% of voters cast their votes, out of which 2% were rejected. The winning candidate received 75% of the valid votes and bagged a total of 9261 votes. The total number of voters in the constituency is
Correct Answer: 16800
Explanation:
Let the total number of votes = N According to the question,
75% of 98% of 75% of N = 9261
[∵ 2% votes were rejected]
⇒ (N x 75 x 98 x 75) / (100 x 100 x 100) = 9261
∴ N = (9261 x 100 x 100 x 100) / (75 x 75 x 98) = 16800
