Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
Maximum marks in each paper = 10
Weightage ratio of Paper A and Paper B = 2:1
Jonathan scored 8 out of 10 in Paper A
Overall percentage = 70%
Formula used:
Total score = 70 / 100 × 30
Contribution from Paper A = 2 × 8
Contribution from Paper B = x
Calculation:
⇒ Total score = 21
⇒ Contribution from Paper A = 16
⇒ 16 + x = 21
⇒ x = 21 - 16 = 5
∴ Jonathan scored 5 out of 10 in Paper B.
