Given:

Percentage of marks obtained by 5 students in different subjects.

Formula Used:

A% of B = A/100 × B

Calculation:

Sohan marks in Math = 90% 

Shyam marks in Math = 20%

Sohan has (90 - 70) = 20% marks more than Shyam.

Total marks in math = 200 

So, 20% of 200 = 20/100 × 200

⇒ 40 

∴ Sohan has 40 more marks than Shyam.
