Rahul got 150 marks in a test. He scored 25% more marks than the pass mark in it. Rajesh got 165 marks in it. By what percent did his mark exceed the pass mark?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Passmarks = \(\frac{150 }{125 }\) x 100 = 120
Rajesh's marks = 165
Percentage increase = \(\frac{45 }{120 }\) x 100 = 37.5%
