उत्तर
Marks scored in revision 1 = 225
Marks scored in revision 2 = 265
Change in marks = 265 – 225 = 40
Percentage of increase = `"Change in marks"/"Original marks" xx 100`
= `40/500 xx 100`
= 8%
Percentage of increase in marks = 8%

Sunscreens block harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays produced by the sun. Each sunscreen has a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) that tells you how many minutes you can stay in the sun before you receive one minute of burning UV rays.
