Correct Answer :

Option A

66.67%

Solution :

The correct answer is 66.67%.


Step-by-step breakdown and calculations:


1. Given Information:

• Total games won by B = 50


2. Calculate the average of games lost by A and games won by B:

The average of games lost by A and games won by B is given as 105.

(Games lost by A) + (Games won by B) 2 = 105

(Games lost by A) + 50 = 210

Games lost by A = 210 - 50 = 160


3. Calculate total games won by A:

The ratio of total games lost by A to total games won by A is 4 : 3.

Games lost by A Games won by A = 4 3

160 Games won by A = 4 3

Games won by A = 160 × 3 4 = 120


4. Calculate total games lost by B:

The ratio of games won by A to games lost by B is given as 3 : 2.

Games won by A Games lost by B = 3 2

120 Games lost by B = 3 2

Games lost by B = 120 × 2 3 = 80


5. Calculate required percentage:

We need to find what percentage of the total games won by A is total games lost by B.

Percentage = ( Games lost by B Games won by A ) × 100

Percentage = ( 80 120 ) × 100 = ( 2 3 ) × 100 = 66.67 %
