In an assembly election, a candidate got 55% of the total valid votes. 2% of the total votes were declared invalid. If the total number of voters is 104000, then the number of valid votes polled in favour of the candidate is :

Correct Answer: 56056
Total votes = 104000
Total valid votes :
= 104000 × $$\frac{(100 - 2)}{100}$$
= 104000 ×$$\frac{98}{100}$$
= 101920
Votes polled in favour of the candidate :
= 101920 × $$\frac{55}{100}$$
= 56056
