Qus. Two students appeared at an examination. One of them secured 9 marks more than the other and his marks was 56% of the sum of their marks. What are the marks obtained by them?
A. 42, 33 B. 42, 36
C. 44, 33 D. 44, 36
Answer: Option A Explanation: Let the marks secured by them be xx and (x+9)(x+9)
sum of their marks =x + (x+9) = 2x+9 =x+(x+9) =2x+9
Given that (x+9)(x+9) was 56% of the sum of their marks. ⇒(x+9) =56100(2x+9)⇒(x+9)=1425(2x+9)⇒25x+225=28x+126⇒3x=99⇒x=33⇒(x+9)=56100(2x+9)⇒(x+9)=1425(2x+9)⇒25x+225=28x+126⇒3x=99⇒x=33
