The marks obtained by A is 25% more than B, and the marks obtained by C is 150 more than the difference of the marks obtained by A and B. If C obtained 180 marks, then find the marks obtained by A.
Let the marks obtained by B be ‘x’. So, marks obtained by A = 1.25x According to question, (1.25x – x) + 150 = 180 0.25x = 180 – 150 0.25x = 30 x = 30/0.25 x = 120 Therefore, marks obtained by A = 1.25 × 120 = 150 marks
