In a game of 100 points, A can give B 20 points and C 28 points. How many points can B give C?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

When A finishes with 100 points, B has 80 points (since A can give B 20 points).

When A finishes with 100 points, C has 72 points (since A can give C 28 points).


The ratio between B and C when A reaches 100:

B:C=80:72B : C = 80 : 72

B:C=10:9B : C = 10 : 9


When B scores 100 points, C scores:

C=910×100C = \dfrac{9}{10} \times 100

C=90C = 90 points


Points B can give C:

100−90=10100 - 90 = 10 points

Therefore, B can give C 10 points.
