• A. $800$
• B. $700$
• C. $600$
• D. $500$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $800$

Given, Marks scored by Asha is $695$
And Percentage of marks Asha got is $86.875\%$
Now,
Let the total marks be $‘x^{\prime }$
From the above we can derive that,
$x\times \frac{86.875}{100}=695$
Here, $86.875$ can be expressed as $\frac{86875}{1000}$
Which implies, $x=(695\times 100\times 1000)/86875$
$x=\frac{6950000}{86875}=800$
Total no: of Marks, $x=800$
$\therefore$ Total number of marks is $800$ marks
