Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 91 3/7%.
Total matches = 225
Target win % = 80
Success rate out of 120 matches = 70%
The team target to win a total of 80% of 225 matches.
So, number of matches = 225 × 80% = 180
In 120 success rate = 70%
So, the number of matches already won = 120 × 70% = 84
So, more matches need to be won = 180 - 84 = 96
Remaining matches = 225 - 120 = 105
Success rate needs to be performed = (96/105) × 100 = 640/7% or 91 3/7%
