Given:

Total questions = 150

Percentage of correct answers for John = 80%

Percentage of correct answers for Mohan = 64%

(i) Number of correct answers John got = 80% of the total questions

= 80100×150\dfrac{80}{100} \times 150

= 12000100\dfrac{12000}{100}

= 120120

Number of correct answers Mohan got = 64% of the total questions

= 64100×150\dfrac{64}{100} \times 150

= 9600100\dfrac{9600}{100}

= 9696

John got 120 correct answers and Mohan got 96 correct answers.

(ii) Percentage = Mohan’s correct answersJohn’s correct answers×100\dfrac{\text{Mohan's correct answers}}{\text{John's correct answers}} \times 100 %

= 96120×100\dfrac{96}{120} \times 100 %

= 9600120\dfrac{9600}{120} %

= 8080 %
