In an election between two candidates, 10% of the voters did not cast their vote and 5% of the votes polled were found invalid.
The successful candidate got 55% of the valid votes and won by a majority of 1710 votes. How many voters were enrolled?
20000
21000
19000
20500
- Let's denote the total number of enrolled voters as x.
- 10% did not vote, so 90% of x cast their votes.
- The votes polled are 0.9x.
- From these, 5% were invalid, so valid votes equal 95 of the polled votes, which is 0.95×0.9x=0.855x.
- The winning candidate got 55% of the valid votes. So they received 0.55×0.855x.
- The opponent received 0.45×0.855x.
- The difference between the winner and opponent was 1710 votes:
$$
(0.55 \times 0.855x) - (0.45 \times 0.855x) = 1710
- This simplifies to:
0.10 \times 0.855x = 1710
- Solving for x:
0.0855x = 1710 \implies x = \frac{1710}{0.0855} \approx 20000
- So, the correct answer is Option 1: 20000.
