Question

‘B’ got 20% marks less than ‘A’. What % of marks did ‘A’ get more than ‘B’?

• A. 10%
• B. 15%
• C. 20%
• D. 25%

Hint:

When comparing percentages, always check the base value carefully.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Concept: Percentage comparison depends on base value.
Step 1: Assume A’s marks = 100.
\[ B = 100 - 20% = 80 \]
Step 2: Find how much A is more than B.
\[ {Difference} = 100 - 80 = 20 \]
Step 3: Percentage with respect to B.
\[ \frac{20}{80} \times 100 = 25% \]
Hence, A got 25% more than B.
