Solution

The correct option is B No
Given that,
Total marks $= 650$
John's score $= 35$ %

We have to find the marks scored by John, so converting 35% into a decimal,

$\to 35 % = \frac{35}{100} ∵ \frac{35}{100} is thirty five hundredths = 0.35$

So,
Marks scored by John
$= 35 % o f 650$
$= 35 % \times 650$
$= 0.35 \times 650$
$= 227.5$

Hence, John scored 227.5 which is less than the qualifying marks (228) for that examination.
So, he could not qualify for the exam.
