Correct Answer: 2,00,000
Solution : Given: Jeeta secured 60% of the valid votes. Jeeta secured 91,800 valid votes. So, total valid votes = $\frac{91800}{60}×100=153000$ 15% of the votes cast were declared invalid. So, the total cast valid votes = (100 – 15)% of votes cast = 85% of votes cast = 1,53,000 So, total casted vote = $\frac{153000}{85}×100 = 180000$ 90% of people cast their votes, which is 1,80,000. So, total votes = $\frac{180000}{90}×100=200000$ Hence, the correct answer is 2,00,000.
