At an examination in which maximum marks are 500. P got 10% less than Q, Q got 25% more than R and R got 20% less than S. If P got 360 marks what percentage of marks was obtained by S ?

Correct Answer: 80

Let marks obtained by S = M

R's marks = 0.80M

Q's marks = 1.25 (0.80M)

P's marks = (0.90) (1.25) (0.80M)

= 0.9M

But 0.9M = 360

M = ?

M = 400

Hence % of marks obtained by S

= 400/500 x 100 = 80%.
