AFCAT Model Paper 1

Given:
Total number of votes = 13500
Invalid votes = 25%
Invalid votes = 25%
Concept Used:
Total votes = Valid votes + Invalid votes
Calculation:
Number of invalid votes =13500×

25

100

=3375
Number of valid votes =13500×

75

100

=10125
Votes of winner candidate = 64% of valid votes = 64% × 10125
⇒ 10125×

64

100

=6480
Votes of the other candidate = (10125 - 6480) = 3645
Difference between votes of both the candidates = (6480 - 3645) = 2835
∴ Number of Invalid votes = 3375
Difference between the votes of both the candidates = 2835
