Study the following table carefully to answer the question
Marks obtained by the students in different subjects at board examination.
| Subject (Marks) / Student | Math (75) | Science (75) | English (80) | Hindi (60) | Computer (110) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PK | 60 | 62 | 70 | 50 | 90 |
| QS | 48 | 56 | 70 | 55 | 90 |
| RP | 70 | 68 | 72 | 40 | 80 |
| SG | 62 | 69 | 75 | 45 | 95 |
| GP | 66 | 60 | 62 | 30 | 85 |
| FA | 54 | 70 | 50 | 56 | 100 |
What is the ratio between total marks obtained in all subjects by RP and FA?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → 1 : 1
A student’s total marks are the sum of the marks in all five subjects, read along that student’s row of the table.
RP’s total: \(70+68+72+40+80=330\)
FA’s total: \(54+70+50+56+100=330\)
The two totals are equal, so the ratio is \(330:330=\) 1 : 1
