Question : In an election between two candidates, a candidate secured 60% of the valid votes and is elected by a majority of 180 votes. The total number of valid votes is:
Option 1: 1200
Option 2: 1000
Option 3: 800
Option 4: 900
Correct Answer: 900
Solution :
Let the number of valid votes be $x$.
According to the question,
$\frac{60x}{100}-\frac{40x}{100}=180$
⇒ $\frac{20x}{100}=180$
$\therefore x = 900$
Hence, the correct answer is 900.
