    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

    Given, 7V/10 - 3V/10 = 172

    => 4V/10 = 172

    => 4V = 1720 => V = 430.

    Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
