(C) Let the total number of enrolled voters be $100x$.Given that $60 \%$ of the voters cast their vote,so the number of votes cast $= 60x$.Out of these,$4 \%$ were invalid,so the number of valid votes $= 60x - (4 \% 	ext{ of } 60x) = 60x - 2.4x = 57.6x$.$A$ candidate received $7344$ votes,which is $75 \%$ of the total valid votes.Therefore,$75 \% 	ext{ of } 57.6x = 7344$.$0.75 	imes 57.6x = 7344$.$43.2x = 7344$.$x = \frac{7344}{43.2} = 170$.Total number of enrolled votes $= 100x = 100 	imes 170 = 17000$.

In an election between two candidates,$60 \%$ of the voters cast their vote,out of which $4 \%$ of the votes were declared invalid. $A$ candidate received $7344$ votes,which were $75 \%$ of the total valid votes. Find the total number of votes enrolled in the election.
