In a Bihar assembly election between two candidates, the total turnout was 70% out of which 14% of the total voters in the voting list were declared invalid. What percent of the votes got by the winner of the election. If the second candidate who got 20% of the total voters in the voting list Correct Answer 36%

Given:

Second candidates got votes = 20%

Of the total voters turned out for voting = 70%

Of the total voters, were declared invalid = 14%

Calculation:

Let the total voters be 100

Turnout voters = (70/100) × 100 = 70

Votes that were declared invalid = (14/100) × 100 = 14

Remaining voters = 70 – 14

⇒ 56

Candidates who came second got,

⇒ (20/100) × 100 = 20

⇒ Number of votes winner got = 100 - (30 + 14 + 20) = 36

∴ Percentage of votes won by winning candidates = (36/100) × 100

⇒ 36%
