42 35 40 38 |
40 |
Total marks of Amit in subjects A, B and C = 64% of 75 + 65% of 80 + 80% of 100 = \(\frac{16}{25}\) × 75 + \(\frac{13}{20}\) × 80 + \(\frac{4}{5}\) × 100 = 48 + 52 + 80 = 180 Total marks of Vikram in B ,C , D & E = 70% of 80 + 73% of 100 + 84% of 50 + 86% of 150 = \(\frac{7}{10}\) × 80 + \(\frac{73}{100}\) × 100 + \(\frac{21}{25}\) × 50 + \(\frac{43}{50}\) × 150 = 56 + 73 + 42 + 129 = 300 Required percentage = \(\frac{300 - 180}{300}\) × 100 = \(\frac{120}{300}\) × 100 = 40% |
