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 $= \frac{13500 \times 25}{100} = 3375$ Number of valid votes $= \frac{13500 \times 75}{100} = 10125$ Votes of winner candidate = 64% of valid votes = 64% × 10125 ⇒ $\frac{10125 \times 64}{100} = 6480$ 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
