- Total voters: 1,50,000.

- Invalid votes: 2% of total votes = 2/100 * 1,50,000 = 3,000.

- Valid votes = Total votes - Invalid votes = 1,50,000 - 3,000 = 1,47,000.

- Candidate's votes: 60% of valid votes = 60/100 * 1,47,000 = 88,200.

- Correct Answer: Option 4 - 88,200

- This means 88,200 valid votes were polled in favor of the candidate.

- Using simple multiplications and subtractions, we calculate the votes for the candidate.
