Wali rehman  (8 years ago)

let Java's marks be: x
then mohan's marks= (80/100)*x
Shyam's marks= (125/100)*(80/100)*x
Ram's marks = (90/100)*(125/100)*(80/100)*x=360
on solving we get x=400(java's marks)
java's pecentage = (400/500)*100= 80

correct me if I am wrong

a)
let j=100, m=80, s=100, r=90
since 90=360
then 100=400
jawa%=400*100/500=80

Given, marks of Ram = 360.
Then, according to the given data,
=> 360 = 90% of Shyam
=> Shyam = 360 * 10 /9 = 400

And, Shyam = 125% of Mohan
=> 400 = 125/100 * Mohan
=> Mohan = 400 * 100/125 =80 * 4= 320

Mohan = 80% of Java.
=> 320 = 80/100 *Java
=> Java = 320 * 100 / 80 = 400
Therefore, Java's percentage = 400/500 * 100 = 80%

Ram=Shyam(90/100). ....(1)
Shyam=Mohan(125/100) .....(2)
Mohan=Jawa(80/100) ....(3)
Ram's marks=360
therefore , From (1) we get Shyam's Marks=400
From (2) , We get Mohan's Marks=320
and From (3), we get Jawa's marks=400
Hence Java's percentage=80%

Is this solution Helpfull? Yes (3) | No
