Question

    The marks obtained by A is 25% more than B, and the

    marks obtained by C is 150 more than the difference of the marks obtained by A and B. If C obtained 250 marks, then find the marks obtained by A.
    A 295 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 225 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 100 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the marks obtained by B be ‘x’. So, marks obtained by A = 1.25x According to question, (1.25x – x) + 150 = 250 0.25x = 250 – 150 0.25x = 100 x = 100/0.25 x = 400 Therefore, marks obtained by A = 1.25 × 400 = 500 marks
