Question:

In an examination, Gopal secured 15% more marks than Asha, and Asha secured 10% more marks than Sachin. How much per cent more marks did Gopal secure than Sachin?

Options:

25.5%

26.5%

25%

24.5%

Correct Answer:

26.5%

Explanation:

Let marks scored by Sachin = 100

Then marks scored by Asha = 100 + 10% of 100 = 110

Marks scored by Gopal = 110 + 15% of 110 

= 110 + 16.5 = 126.5

So, Gopal scored 26.5% more than Sachin.
