Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 30 more.
According to the given table,
Percentage of marks obtained by Ram in Botany = 95%
Marks obtained by Ram in Botany = 95% of 200
⇒ 95 × 2 = 190
Percentage of marks obtained by Karn in Botany = 80%
Marks obtained by Karn in Botany = 80% of 200
⇒ 80 × 2 = 160
Difference = 190 - 160 = 30
Hence the marks obtained by Ram in Botany are 30 more than Karn’s marks in Botany.
