In an election only two candidates contested. A candidate secured 70% of the valid votes and won by a majority of 172 votes. Find the total number of valid votes ?
Correct Answer: 430
Explanation:
Let the total number of valid votes be 'V'.
70% of V = 70/100 x V = 7V/10
Number of votes secured by the other candidate = V - 7V/100 = 3V/10
