Question:

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?

 

Options:

40%

37. 5%

45%

32%

Correct Answer:

37. 5%

Explanation:

Passmarks = \(\frac{150 }{125 }\) x 100 = 120

Rajesh's marks = 165

Percentage increase = \(\frac{45 }{120 }\) x 100 = 37.5%
