Given below are two quantities named A & B. Based on the given information; you have to determine the relationship between the two quantities. You should use the given data and your knowledge of Mathematics to choose between the possible answers. Quantity A: The ratio of marks obtained by Suman and Binoy is 3 : 4. If the combined average of their percentage is 84 and their sum of the marks is 252, find the maximum marks of the exam.  Quantity B: Rs. 450 is divided amongst three workers P, Q and R such that 8 times P’s share is equal to 12 times Q’s share which is equal to 6 times R’s share. How much did P get?

Given below are two quantities named A & B. Based on the given information; you have to determine the relationship between the two quantities.

If the combined average of their percentage is 84 and their sum of the marks is 252, find the maximum marks of the exam.  Quantity B: Rs. 450 is divided amongst three workers P, Q and R such that 8 times P’s share is equal to 12 times Q’s share which is equal to 6 times R’s share. How much did P get? Correct Answer Quantity A = Quantity B or No relation

Quantity A:

∵ Sum of the marks of Suman and Binoy is 252 and ratio of marks obtained by Suman and Binoy is 3: 4;

∴ Marks obtained by Suman = 252 × 3/7 = 108 and

Marks obtained by Binoy = 252 × 4/7 = 144

∴ Combined average marks = (108 + 144)/2 = 126

∵ Combined average of their percentage is 84 and suppose the maximum marks are x;

∴ 84 × x/100 = 126

⇒ x = 12600/84 = 150

∴ Maximum marks of the exam = 150

 

Alternative method:

Sum of the marks of suman and binoy = 252

Average marks = 252/2 = 126

Now, Combined average of their percentage = 84 (given)

Required Maximum marks = 126/84 × 100 = 150  

 

Quantity B:

Given that:

8P = 12Q = 6R

And (P + Q + R) = 450

Putting the values of Q and R in terms of P:

∴ P + 8P/12 + 8P/6 = 450

⇒ 36P/12 = 450

⇒ P = 150

∴ P gets Rs. 150.

∴ Quantity A = Quantity B
