    The marks obtained by Ram in Botany are less/more than Karn's marks in Botany by how much?

    A.

    25 less

    B.

    30 more

    C.

    25 more

    D.

    30 less

    Correct option is B

    Given Data:
    The percentage of marks obtained by each student in Botany, with maximum marks of 200, is provided in the table:
    · Ram’s percentage in Botany: 95%
    · Karan’s percentage in Botany: 80%
    Formula Used: To find the actual marks, we use:
    Marks = (Percentage100)×Maximum Marks(\frac{Percentage}{100})×Maximum \ Marks​​
    Calculate Ram’s marks in Botany:
    Ram’s Marks= (95100)×200=190(\frac{95}{100})×200=190​​
    Calculate Karan’s marks in Botany:
    Karan’s Marks =(80100\frac{80}{100}​)×200=160
    Difference in marks:
    "Difference"=190-160=30
    Since Ram’s marks are higher than Karan’s marks in Botany:
    Answer: (b) 30 more

    Confusion Point: 

    Here in the question table, Maximum marks in each subject and percentage of marks for each students is given, not the actual marks given. To get the actual mark we have to find is by calculation from the total marks and percentage of mark student got from that subject.
