Q. 2 students gave an examination. One of them scored 9 marks more than other and his marks were 56% of the sum of total of both their marks. What are their individual marks?- Published on 19 Oct 15a. 42,33
b. 42,36
c. 44,33
d. 44,36
ANSWER: 42,33
Let marks of one of the students be X.
The marks of the other will be X+9
According to question, X+9 = 56% of X+ (X+9)
Solving, X + 9 = 56/100* (2X + 9)
=> 25X + 225 = 28X + 126
=> 3X = 99
=> X = 33
Marks of one are 33, while of the other are 33+9 = 42.
