In an examination, A has scored 20 marks more than B. If B has scored 5% less marks than A, how much has B scored?

Options

  1. a.

    360

  2. b.

    380

    Correct answer
  3. c.

    400

  4. d.

    420

Explanation

Answer is (b). Check options directly. Let’s start with (a). If B is 360, A will be 380. Now, 5% of 380 = 19. So B will become 380 – 19 = 361. Hence this option is wrong (B is 360, not 361). If B is 380, A will be 400. Now, 5% of 400 = 20. So B will be 400 – 20 = 380. Hence (b) is correct.
