Exams › IBPS PO › Quantitative Aptitude

Two students appeared for an examination. One of them secured 9 marks more than the other, and his marks were 56% of the sum of their marks. The marks obtained by them are:

1. 39, 30
2. 41, 32
3. 42, 33
4. 43, 34

Correct answer: 42, 33

Solution

Let the marks be \(x\) and \(x+9\). Then the larger mark equals 56% of the total: \(x+9 = 0.56(2x+9)\). Solving gives \(x=33\), so the marks are 33 and 42.
