Amit = 6000+1000+180035000×100=25.14\frac {6000+1000+1800}{35000}\times100=25.14%%

Suresh = 6300+1100+195038500×100=24.28\frac{6300+1100+1950}{38500}\times100=24.28%

Nitin = 5000+1000+140029000×100=25.51\frac{5000+1000+1400}{29000}\times100=25.51%

Varun = 7500+1250+150042000×100=24.40\frac{7500+1250+1500}{42000}\times100=24.40%
