In an election between two candidates. One got 55 % of the total valid votes. 20 % of the votes were invalid. If the total number of votes was 7500. The number of valid votes that the other candidate got was_________?

A. 2700
B. 2900
C. 3000
D. 3100
Explanation:
Valid votes = (80/100 × 7500) = 6000
Valid votes polled by one candidates
=(55/100 × 6000) = 3300
Valid votes polled by another candidate
= (6000 – 3300) = 2700
