Question

    In a test of 5 subjects, Riya scored 78% marks. Her

    friend Tanu scored ‘y’% marks in the same test. If the combined total marks obtained by both was 1170, and each subject carried a maximum of 120 marks, find the value of ‘y’.
    A 155 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 117 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 107 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 123 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Sum of maximum marks of all the 5 subjects together = 120 × 5 = 600 Total marks obtained by Riya = 78% of 600 = 468 So, total marks obtained by Tanu = 1170 – 468 = 702 y = (702 / 600) × 100 = 117
