On a test consisting of 250 questions, Jassi answered 40% of the first 125 questions correctly. What percent of the other 125 questions does she need to answer correctly for her grade on the entire exam to be 60% ?

A. 60%

B. 75%

C. 80%

D. Cannot be determined

E. None of these

Answer: Option C

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Number of questions answered correctly = 40% of 125 = 50
For 60% grade, number of questions to be answered correctly = 60% of 250 = 150
Remaining number of questions to be answered correctly
= 150 - 50
= 100
∴ Required percentage
$$\eqalign{ & = \left( {\frac{{100}}{{125}} \times 100} \right)\% \cr & = 80\% \cr} $$
