Question

In an objective type paper of $150$ questions:

John got $80\%$ correct answers and Mohan got $64\%$ correct answers.

What percent is Mohan's correct answers to John's correct answers?

• A. $100\%$
• B. $16\%$
• C. $64\%$
• D. $80\%$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $80\%$

The number of questions correctly attempted by John out of 150 is,

$\frac{80}{100}\times 150=120$

The number of questions correctly attempted by Mohan out of 150 is,

$\frac{64}{100}\times 150=96$

Percent of Mohan's correct answers to John's correct answers $=\frac{96}{120}\times 100$

$=80\%$

Hence, option $D$ is correct.
