SSC CHSL Exam 2024 Tier-I Official Paper (Held On: 11 Jul, 2024 Shift 4)

Answer 1

Given:

Maths maximum marks = 150

Raw score in Maths = 135

Formula used:

Raw score = (Percentage × Maximum marks) ÷ 100

Calculations:

For a raw score of 135 in Maths:

⇒ (Percentage × 150) ÷ 100 = 135

⇒ Percentage = (135 × 100) ÷ 150 = 90%

We need to check how many students scored 90% in Maths.

From the table, students who scored 90% in Maths are:

Ayush (90%)

Sajal (90%)

∴ Two students secured a raw score of 135 in Maths.
