Let the total number of votes be 100.

5% of votes polled were invalid = 5 votes

Raju got 30% of the total votes = 30 votes

Ravi got 32% of the total votes = 32 votes

Ashok got  = 100 - (30 + 32 + 5) = 33 votes

Raju got the least no. of votes and Ashok got the highest no. of votes.

Difference between votes got by Raju and Ashok = 3

⇒ 3 = 5136 ⇒ 1 = 1712 ⇒ 100 = 171200

∴  The total number of votes polled = 171200 votes.
