Three persons Dhruv, Danish, and Damini contested in an election. The total number of voters was 35,500, out of which 10% were declared invalid. Dhruv won the election by receiving 40% of the valid votes. The votes received by Damini are 800 more than the votes received by Danish. What is the difference between the number of votes received by Dhruv and Danish?

1. 2505
2. 3595
3. 4255
4. 5625

Correct answer: 3595

Solution

Valid votes are 90% of 35,500, which is 31,950. Dhruv gets 40% of valid votes, i.e. 12,780, and the remaining votes are split between Danish and Damini with Damini 800 more than Danish. Solving gives Danish = 9,185, so the difference is 3,595.
