Question

Ram scored $553$ marks out of $700$ and Gita scored $486$ marks out of $600$ in Science. Whose performance is better?

• A. Gita’s performance
• B. Ram’s performance
• C. Both have equal performance
• D. Data insufficient

Answer 1

The correct option is A Gita’s performance

To compare the performance of Gita and Ram, we will find the respective percentage of each.

Marks scored by Ram $=553$

Total marks$=700$

Percentage of marks thus obtained$=\frac{\text{Marks obtained}}{\text{Total marks}}\times 100\%$

$=\frac{553}{700}\times 100\%$

$=79\%$

Marks scored by Ram $=486$

Total marks$=600$

Percentage of marks thus obtained$=\frac{\text{Marks obtained}}{\text{Total marks}}\times 100\%$

$=\frac{486}{600}\times 100\%$

$=81\%$

Since, $81\%>79\%$

Hence, Gita's performance is better than that of Ram.
