Q:

Find the appropriate relation for quantity1 and quantity2 in the following question:

Quantity 1: In an examination, Ankita scored 35 marks less than Puneeta. Puneeta scored 65 more marks than Meenakshi. Rakhi scored 115 marks, which is 20 marks more than Meenakshi's. Simpy scored 108 marks less than the maximum marks of the test. What approximate percentage of marks did Simpy score in the examination, if she got 67 marks more than Ankita?

Quantity 2: The length of a rectangle is increased by 60%. By what percent would the width have to be decreased to maintain the same area?

A) Quantity1 < Quantity2 B) Quantity1 ≤ Quantity2
C) Quantity1 ≥ Quantity2 D) Quantity1 > Quantity2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Quantity1 > Quantity2

Explanation:

Quantity1-
Rakhi’s marks= 115
Meenakshi’s marks= 115 - 20 = 95
Puneeta’s marks= 95 + 65= 160
Ankita’s marks=160 - 35= 125
Simpy’s marks= 125+ 67= 192
Total maximum marks= 192 + 108= 300
Required percentage marks of Simpy
192300×100=64%
Quantity2-
Let length and breadth be 100.

After increase in length it become 160, then
reduction in breadth be ‘x’
Now, 160*x= 100*100
Hence, x = 10000160=62.5

100-62.5=37.5%
