In a game of 100 points, A can give B 30 points and C 37 points, then B can give C ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → 10 points
Since A scores 100 when B scores 70,
$\frac{A}{B}=\frac{100}{70}=\frac{10}{7}$
Since A scores 100 when C scores 63,
$\frac{A}{C}=\frac{100}{63}$
$⇒\frac{B}{C}=\frac{A}{C}÷\frac{A}{B}=\frac{100}{63}×\frac{70}{100}$
$=\frac{10}{9}$
This mean B scores 10 points, C scores 9 points.
∴ if B plays upto 100 points,
$\frac{9}{10}×100=90$
∴ B can give C 10 points in a 100 point game.
