5. Q5.The sum of the scores obtained by Ram and his two friends in an exam is 60% of the sum of the maximum marks for all three of them. If the ratio of their obtained marks is 4 : 5 : 6, how many of them scored more than 70% marks in the exam?

   • A.Three
   • B.None
   • C.One
   • D.Two
   Show answer

   Answer: C. One

   The sum of the scores obtained by Ram and his two friends in an exam is 60% of the sum of the maximum marks for the exam for all three of them The ratio of their obtained marks is 4 : 5 : 6 Ratio of Ram : Ram’s first friend : Ram’s second friend = 4 : 5 : 6 Let the sum of maximum marks for the exam for all three of them = 3M Total sum of marks obtained = 4x + 5x + 6x Total sum of marks obtained = 15x Sum of the scores obtained by Ram and his two friends in an exam is 60%. Total sum of marks obtained = Sum of the scores obtained by Ram and his two friends in an exam is 60% of the sum of the max marks ⇒ 15x = 60% × 3m ⇒ x = 4% × 3M ⇒ x = 3M/25 ⇒ Percentage of marks scored by Ram = ((4 × 3M/25 ) ÷ M) × 100 Percentage of marks scored by Ram = (12/25) × 100 Percentage of marks scored by Ram = 48% ⇒ Percentage of marks scored by Ram’s first friend = ((5 × 3M/25 ) ÷ M) × 100 Percentage of marks scored by Ram’s first friend = (15/25) × 100 Percentage of marks scored by Ram’s first friend = 60% ⇒ Percentage of marks scored by Ram’s second friend = ((6 × 3M/25 ) ÷ M) × 100 Percentage of marks scored by Ram’s second friend = (18/25) × 100 Percentage of marks scored by Ram’s second friend = 72% Here, Only Ram’s second friend has scored more than 70% i.e., 72% Hence, the correct answer is “One”.
