The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step-by-step, we will establish the relationships between the scores of Jai, Raj, Rohit, and Ravi based on the given percentages. ### Step 1: Define the Scores Let's denote Ravi's score as \( R \). ### Step 2: Calculate Rohit's Score Rohit scores 10% less than Ravi. Therefore, Rohit's score \( H \) can be calculated as: \[ H = R - 0.1R = 0.9R \] ### Step 3: Calculate Raj's Score Raj scores 30% more than Rohit. Therefore, Raj's score \( A \) can be calculated as: \[ A = H + 0.3H = 1.3H = 1.3(0.9R) = 1.17R \] ### Step 4: Calculate Jai's Score Jai scores 20% higher than Raj. Therefore, Jai's score \( J \) can be calculated as: \[ J = A + 0.2A = 1.2A = 1.2(1.17R) = 1.404R \] ### Step 5: Calculate Percentage of Jai's Score Compared to Ravi's Score Now we need to find out what percent of Ravi's score is Jai's score. This can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{J}{R} \right) \times 100 \] Substituting the value of \( J \): \[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{1.404R}{R} \right) \times 100 = 1.404 \times 100 = 140.4\% \] ### Conclusion Jai scores **140.4%** of the marks compared to Ravi. ---
