- Total voters enrolled = x

- 65% voters voted ? Votes cast = 0.65x

- 3% votes invalid ? Invalid votes = 0.03 × 0.65x = 0.0195x

- Valid votes = (Votes cast) – (invalid votes) = 0.65x - 0.0195x = 0.6305x

- The candidate got 81965 votes, which is 65% of valid votes:

81965 = 0.65 × 0.6305x ? 81965 = 0.409825x

x = 81965 / 0.409825 ˜ 200,000

- So, total votes enrolled = 200,000

Option:1- 200000
