Question

Anita, Sunita, Ram, and Raman scored 89, 87, 90 and 55 marks (out of 100) respectively in an exam. Who scored the maximum percentage and how much?

• A. Ram, 90%
• B. Anita, 89%
• C. Ram, 9%
• D. Anita, 8.9%

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Ram, 90%

Among the four, the marks scored by Ram is the highest.
Since the maximum marks (= 100) is same for all the candidates, the percentage of marks will be the highest for Ram.

Percentage of marks scored by Ram
= $\frac{\text{Marks scored by Ram}}{\text{Total marks}}$
= $\frac{90}{100}\times 100=90\%$.
