a) Rahim got more sums correct
b) Ram got more sums correct
c) Both got same
correct answer is: a) Rahim got more sums correct
Explanation
According to the question,
In case of Ram : \frac{Ram\prime s\ Correct\ Sums}{Total\ Sums}
\rightarrow\large\frac{60}{100}
\rightarrow\large\frac{3}{5}
In case of Rahim : \frac{Rahim\prime s\ Correct\ Sums}{Total\ Sums}
\rightarrow\large\frac{50}{80}
\rightarrow\large\frac{5}{8}
Now, we need to find the LCM of Denominators.
So, Denominators of 5 and 8 LCM is 40.
Now,
\large\frac{3}{5}\normalsize=\large\frac{3\times8}{5\times8}\normalsize=\large\frac{24}{40}
\rightarrow\large\frac{5}{8}\normalsize=\large\frac{5\times5}{8\times5}\normalsize=\large\frac{25}{40}
So, \large\frac{24}{40}\normalsize<\large\frac{25}{40}
\therefore Rahim got more.
Ans: Rahim got more sums correct.
Other variants of this particular math question are:
- In a set of 100 sums, Ram solved 60 correctly, while Rahim solved 50 out of 80 correctly. Determine who answered more sums accurately.
- Ram correctly solved 60 out of 100 sums, while Rahim’s correct answers amounted to 50 out of 80 sums. Determine who achieved a higher number of correct responses.
- Out of 100 sums, Ram correctly answered 60, while Rahim’s correct responses totaled 50 out of 80 sums. Establish who obtained a greater number of correct sums.
