Q:
At an examination in which maximum marks are 500. P got 10% less than Q, Q got 25% more than R and R got 20% less than S. If P got 360 marks what percentage of marks was obtained by S ?
Answer & Explanation
Answer: C) 80
Explanation: Let marks obtained by S = M
R's marks = 0.80M
Q's marks = 1.25 (0.80M)
P's marks = (0.90) (1.25) (0.80M)
= 0.9M
But 0.9M = 360
M = ?
M = 400
Hence % of marks obtained by S
= 400/500 x 100 = 80%.
