In university exams where the total maximum marks were 500, Mohit gets 20% more than Surendra, Surendra gets 20% more than Lalit, and Lalit gets 15% less than Darshan. If Mohit gets 366 marks, what percentage of the full marks does Darshan get? [Give your answer correct to 2 decimal places.]
Lalit gets 15% less than Darshan.
Let's assume the marks got by Darshan is '100y'.
marks got by Lalit = 100y of (100-15)%
= 100y of 85%
=Â $$100y\times\frac{85}{100}$$
= 85y
Surendra gets 20% more than Lalit
marks got by Surendra =Â 85y of (100+20)%
= 85y of 120%
=Â $$85y\times\frac{120}{100}$$
=Â 102y
Mohit gets 20% more than Surendra.
marks got by Mohit = 102y of (100+20)%
= 102y of 120%
=Â $$102y\times\frac{120}{100}$$
=Â 122.4y
If Mohit gets 366 marks.
So 122.4y = 366
$$y=\frac{366}{122.4}$$
$$y=\frac{3660}{1224}$$Percentage of the full marks Darshan got =Â $$\frac{\frac{366000}{1224}}{500}\times\ 100$$
= $$\frac{366000}{1224\times\ 500}\times\ 100$$
=Â $$\frac{366000}{6120}$$
=Â 59.80% (approx.)
