The marks in Mathematics and English of S are in proportion. Last year when he got 60 marks in Mathematics, he secured 75 marks in English. If his marks in English this year are 60, then his Mathematics marks are _____.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 48.
Given:
Math : English = 60 : 75
This year, English = 60
Let Math = x
Then, x / 60 = 60 / 75
⇒ x = (60 × 60) / 75 = 3600 / 75 = 48
