Shyam's score would be:

a) 480
b) 510
c) 530
d) 540​

Answer 1

Answer:

d) 540

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, Ratio of scores of Ram to shyam = 4:3

Ratio of scores of Shyam to Madan = 4:3

Ratio of scores of Madan to Gopal = 3:1

and Gopal's score = 135

Required to find : Shyam's score

Now let Madan's score = x

Considering the ratio of scores of Madan to Gopal,

=> 3/1 = x/135

by cross multiplying,

x = 135*3

x = 405

Now, let Shyam's score be y

Now, Consider the ratio of scores of Shyam to Madan

4/3 = y/405

y = 405*4/3

y = 1620/3

y = 540

Therefore, Shyam's score would be d) 540
