1540

3250

2350

3150

- Total Votes: There were 7500 votes cast in total.

- Invalid Votes: 30% of these were invalid, which is 0.3 * 7500 = 2250 invalid votes.

- Valid Votes: Subtracting invalid votes from the total gives 7500 - 2250 = 5250 valid votes.

- Candidate A's Votes: One candidate received 40% of the valid votes, which means they got 0.4 * 5250 = 2100 votes.

- Candidate B's Votes: The other candidate, therefore, received the remaining valid votes, which is 5250 - 2100 = 3150 votes.

The correct option is:

- Option 4: 3150
