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. The marks obtained by them are:
Answer: Option

Let their marks be (x + 9) and x.
| Then, x + 9 = | 56 | (x + 9 + x) |
| 100 |
25(x + 9) = 14(2x + 9)
3x = 99
x = 33
So, their marks are 42 and 33.
