In a constituency, 85% of the total number of people on the electoral roll cast their votes during an election.
10% of the votes cast were declared invalid.
If there were 3,00,000 people on the electoral roll, and Dharam secured 1,37,700 valid votes.
Calculation:
The number of casted votes
⇒ 300000 × 85/100 =2,55,000
Number of valid votes,
⇒ 2,55,000 × 90 /100 = 229500
Percentage of votes Dharam secured
⇒ (137700 / 229500) × 100 = 60%
∴ The correct option is 4
