ramesh got 210 marks which was 27 3/11% more than the firstr division cut-off mark.if somesh got 231 marks,how much more than the first division cut-off were his marks?pl. provide sol. also.

1) 30%
2) 40%
3) 33 3/11%
4) 39 4/11%

• Let cut-off marks be c
  Now,A/q
  c*(1+27 3/100%)=210
  => c*(1+300/11%)=210
  on solving for c we get
  c=165
  Now,
  Somesh gets 231
  somesh marks is more than first division by=(231-165)/165*100=40%
  Hence somesh marks is 40% more than first division cut off marks
