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
Explanation:
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.

Total marks = 100%.
X = 56%.
Y = 100-56.
= 44%.
Now the difference marks between X and Y.
= (56-44)%,
= 12%.
Now,
12% = 9,
1% = 9÷12,
56%= 9÷12 × 56,
= 42.
Next;
Y = 44%.
12% = 9.
1% = 9÷12,
44%= 9÷12 × 44,
= 33.
X = 56%.
Y = 100-56.
= 44%.
Now the difference marks between X and Y.
= (56-44)%,
= 12%.
Now,
12% = 9,
1% = 9÷12,
56%= 9÷12 × 56,
= 42.
Next;
Y = 44%.
12% = 9.
1% = 9÷12,
44%= 9÷12 × 44,
= 33.

Let the student are;
a,b and their marks are x and x+9
As the question is given,
from the question we get.
x+x+9(56/100) = x+9.
Because the question is said 56 per cent of the sum of their mark;
So 2x+9 (56/100) = x+9,
(112x +504)/100 = x + 9,
112x +504 = 100x + 900,
112x-100x = 900 - 504.
12x = 396.
x = 33.
and x + 9 = 33 + 9,
= 42.
So the mark are 33 and 42.
a,b and their marks are x and x+9
As the question is given,
from the question we get.
x+x+9(56/100) = x+9.
Because the question is said 56 per cent of the sum of their mark;
So 2x+9 (56/100) = x+9,
(112x +504)/100 = x + 9,
112x +504 = 100x + 900,
112x-100x = 900 - 504.
12x = 396.
x = 33.
and x + 9 = 33 + 9,
= 42.
So the mark are 33 and 42.
