Question

In an examination of 500 marks, Soham scored 347.35, Manan scored 289.47, and Rajat scored 462.33. Arrange the marks each of them lost in the examination in descending order. Also, find the total loss of marks by all.

• A. Manan: 210.33; Soham: 152.65; Rajat: 37.67; Total = 400.65
• B. Soham: 152.65; Manan: 37.67; Rajat: 210.33; Total = 400.65
• C. Soham: 347.35; Manan: 462.33; Rajat: 289.47; Total = 1500
• D. Soham: 152.65; Manan: 37.67; Rajat: 210.33; Total = 300.65

Answer 1

The correct option is A Manan: 210.33; Soham: 152.65; Rajat: 37.67; Total = 400.65

Soham, Manan, and Rajta have scored different marks in the examination out of 500.

We can find the marks lost by each of them in the examination,

$\Rightarrow$ Marks lost by Soham = 500 – 347.35 = 152.65
$\Rightarrow$ Marks lost by Manan = 500 – 289.47 = 210.33 $\Rightarrow$ Marks lost by Rajat = 500 – 462.33 = 37.67

Now, we can compare the marks lost by each of them, and arrange them in descending order.
210.33 > 152.65 > 37.67

After getting the correct descending order, we have to find the total marks lost by all three of them,
Therefore,
Total loss of marks = 210.33 + 152.65 + 37.67 = 400.65
