Choose the correct option(s):  Correct Answer a only 

Given∶

Marks were in the proportion = 4 ∶ 5 ∶ 9 ∶ 10 ∶ 12.

Raj obtained 40% of the total marks.

Formula Used∶

Basics of percentage and ratios.

Calculation∶

Let the marks scored in 5 subjects be 4x, 5x, 9x, 10x and 12x.

Total marks in all 5 subjects = 40x

Maximum marks of the 5 subjects = 40x/0.4     

∴ Maximum marks in each subject = 40x/(0.4 × 5) = 20x

Hence percentage in each subject,

1st subject = (4x/20x) × 100 = 20%

2nd subject = (5x/20x) × 100 = 25%

3rd subject = (9x/20x) × 100 = 45%

4th subject = (10x/20x) × 100 = 50%

5th subject = (12x/20x) × 100 = 60%

∴ Number of subjects in which he got less than 50% are 3, less than 60% are 4 and less than 70% are 5. So, option 1 is correct.
