Question

In an examination, A has scored 20 marks more than B. If B has scored 5% leas marks . than A, how much has B scored ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

If B is 380, A will be 400. Now, 5% of 400 = 20. So B will be 400 – 20 = 380. Hence (b) is correct.

Answer 2

Answer:

380

Step-by-step explanation:

Let B scored m marks.

So, A scored m + 20 marks.

Let maximum marks be M.

According to the question, B has scored 5% less marks than A.

So, marks scored by B = (100 - 5)% of A

m = 95/100 × (m + 20)

100m = 95m + 1900

5m = 1900

m = 380
