175240

170420

170240

Let's go through the calculation to determine the correct answer:

- The total number of voters is 3,20,000.

- 5% of the total votes were declared invalid.

- Invalid votes = 5% of 3,20,000 = 16,000.

- Valid votes = Total votes - Invalid votes.

- Valid votes = 3,20,000 - 16,000 = 3,04,000.

- The winner received 56% of the valid votes.

- Votes for the winner = 56% of 3,04,000 = 0.56 * 3,04,000 = 1,70,240.

Therefore, the number of valid votes polled for the winning candidate is 1,70,240.

- Option 1: 1,74,020

- Option 2: 1,75,240

- Option 3: 1,70,420

- Option 4: 1,70,240
