- The candidates Santosh, Ravi, and Vipin received votes in the ratio of 11:4:9.

- The condition given is that the winner defeated his nearest rival by 8350 votes.

- Assume the candidates got 11x, 4x, and 9x votes respectively.

- The winner is Santosh, and the nearest rival is Vipin since 11:9 is the closest ratio.

- The difference between the votes of Santosh and Vipin is 11x - 9x = 2x.

- According to the problem, 2x = 8350.

- Solving for x gives x = 4175.

- Therefore, the total valid votes polled are 11x + 4x + 9x = 24x = 24 * 4175 = 1,00,200.

The correct option is:

- Option: 4 - 1,00,200
