- Total voters = V

- 16% did not vote ? votes cast = 84% of V

- 10% of these were invalid ? valid votes = 90% of 84% of V = 0.756V

- Successful candidate got 60% of the valid votes

- Candidate wins by margin of 567 votes

- 60% of valid votes - 40% of valid votes = 567 votes

- Therefore, 20% of valid votes = 567

- Thus, valid votes = 567 / 0.2 = 2835

- Valid votes = 0.756V = 2835

- Solving gives V = 2835 / 0.756 = 3750

- Correct Answer: Option 2: 3750
