Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
Total votes cast = 90% × the total number of people on the electoral roll
Invalid votes = 15% × the votes cast at the election centre
Jeeta got 60% × valid votes
Jeeta got 91,800 valid votes
Calculation:
Let, the total number of people on the electoral roll = 100x
Total votes cast = 100x × 90% = 90x
Valid votes = 90x × 85%
According to the question:
⇒ 90x × 85% × 60% = 91800
⇒ 90x = (91800 × 100 × 10)/(85 × 6)
⇒ x = (180 × 100 × 10)/90
⇒ x = 2000
The total number of people on the electoral roll = 100x
⇒ 100 × 2000 = 200000 people
∴ The correct answer is 200000.
