In an exam, a student scored 40% on the first paper out of a total of 200. How much percentage should the student score in the second paper out of 200 if he has to get 60% marks overall?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 80%.

Explanation:

​Let the marks of the student in the second paper be x.

In the first paper, the marks scored by student = 40% of 200 = 80

Now, the overall percentage of marks = 60% of 400 = 240

So, the marks required in the second paper = 240 - 80 = 160

The percentage of marks required = 160200×100{160 \over 200} \times 100 = 80%

Hence the required answer is 80%.
