In an election between two candidates, the winner got 65% of the total votes cast and won the election by a majority of 2748 votes. What is the total number of votes cast if no vote is declared invalid?

a) 8580
b) 8720
c) 9000
d) 9160

Answer: d
Explanation: Winner gets 65% of valid votes and loser gets 35% of votes
Difference between this two = 2748
(65-35)% = 2748
30% = 2748
Total number of voters, 100%
= $$\frac{{2748 \times 100}}{{30}}$$
= 9160
