The following table gives the marks obtained by six students in six different subjects in an examination.
The maximum marks for each subject are given in the brackets.
Find the ratio of total percentage marks obtained by Sumit and Sandhya in Hindi English and Maths.
Solution
Marks obtained by Sumit in Hindi, English and Maths = 75+85+75 = 235
These marks were obtained out of 120+130+150 = 400
Giving the percentage marks obtained by Sumit to be$$\frac{235}{400}\times\ 100$$
Marks obtained by Sandhya in Hindi, English and Maths = 85+110+120 = 315
Giving the percentage marks obtained by Snadhya to be $$\frac{315}{400}\times\ 100$$
This would give their ratio to be, $$\frac{235}{400}\times\ 100\ :\ \frac{315}{400}\times\ 100$$
$$235:315$$
47:63
Therefore, Option C is the correct answer.
