Answer 2

In context to questions asked,

We have to determine the percentage decrease in weight of Ram.

As per questions,

It is given that,

Actual weight of Ram = 85 Kg

Weight of Ram after decrease = 65 Kg

Total decrease in weight of Ram will be,

$85 - 65 = 20kg$

As for determining the percentage decrease we will keep 85 Kg as the base.

So, the percentage decrease will be,

$\frac{20}{85} \times 100 = 23.529 = 23.53percent$

Hence, decrease in weight will be 23.53%.
