Other Candidates found Valid votes are = 100-55 = 45.
and
Invalid Votes are = 100-20 = 80.
Total No.of Votes are = 7500.
80X/100 + 45X/100 = 7500.
125X = 750000.
X = 750000/125 = 6000.
Than The number of valid votes that the other candidate got are,
Put the value of X,
45 x 6000 /100 = 2700 , Option - (A).
and
Invalid Votes are = 100-20 = 80.
Total No.of Votes are = 7500.
80X/100 + 45X/100 = 7500.
125X = 750000.
X = 750000/125 = 6000.
Than The number of valid votes that the other candidate got are,
Put the value of X,
45 x 6000 /100 = 2700 , Option - (A).

55% Votes Are Valid.. And Remaining 45% is 3375.
So, out of these 45%.
20% are Invalid so 20% of 3375 (i.e 45%) is 675 votes which are Invalid and Valid Votes are 3375-675 = 2700.
So, out of these 45%.
20% are Invalid so 20% of 3375 (i.e 45%) is 675 votes which are Invalid and Valid Votes are 3375-675 = 2700.

Total votes is 7500, invalid votes is 20%= 6000.
6000 * 55%=3300 valid votes and remaining votes are 6000-3300=2700.
6000 * 55%=3300 valid votes and remaining votes are 6000-3300=2700.

Valid vote for A = 55/100.
Number of valid votes = 80 * 7500/100 = 6000,
Valid votes pooled by A = 55 * 6000/100 = 3300,
So, 6000 - 3300 = 2700.
Number of valid votes = 80 * 7500/100 = 6000,
Valid votes pooled by A = 55 * 6000/100 = 3300,
So, 6000 - 3300 = 2700.

They are asking for valid votes.
Valid votes are 80% which is equal to 6000. In these 6000 votes A got 55% and the remaining valid votes are 25%. So the answer is 25% of 6000.
