Answer 1

Answer:

360

Step-by-step explanation:

C scored 300 marks out of 400

=> C Score in % = (300/400)*100 = 75%

( 5 % & 10 % are of total Marks (400) )

B Scored 5 % Than C = 75% + 5% = 80%

A scored 10% Than B = 80 + 10 = 90%

=> A Score = (90/100)*400 = 360

Another interpretation ( 5 % against C Score & 10% against B Score)

C scored = 300

B Scored 5 % Than C = 300 + (5/100)*300 = 315

A scored 10 % more than B = 315 + (10/100)315 = 346.5
