Let total registered voters = N
Step 1: Votes cast
84% voted
Votes cast = 0.84N
Step 2: Valid votes
20% invalid ⇒ 80% valid
Valid votes = $0.8 \times 0.84N = 0.672N$
Step 3: Votes of candidates
Winner gets 58% of valid votes
So loser gets 42%
Difference = $(58 - 42)% = 16%$ of valid votes
So margin:
$0.16 \times 0.672N = 0.10752N$
Given margin = 336
So,
$0.10752N = 336$
Step 4: Solve for N
$N = \frac{336}{0.10752} = 3125$
Final Answer: 3125
