• A. Cannot be compared
• B. Cannot determine from the data
• C. Rashmi
• D. Rajan

Answer 1

The correct option is A Cannot be compared

Rashmi got $480$ marks out of $600$.

Percentage of marks $=\frac{480}{600}\times 100=80\%$

Rajan got $560$ marks out of $700$.

Percentage of $=\frac{560}{700}\times 100=80\%$

Since both of them obtained the same percent of marks, i.e., $80\%$. So, their performance cannot be compared.
