"...students having the best score..." ?
85/100 has a range of [84.5%,85.5%]
170/200 has a range of [84.75%,85.25%]
I would take the better of the worst case, namely, candidate with a least score of 84.75%. In practice, I would decide by a final interview.
Assume that you have to select some of the applicants for registration in some particular academic
programme. Also assume that there happens to be a tie among two students having the least score.
One of them has 85 marks out of 100 in the eligibility course, while the other has 170 marks out of 200.
What would be your strategy if you must have to select only one of them?
