A student gets 22 marks more in French than what she got in German. Her German marks are 28% of the sum of her French and German marks. What are her French marks?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e 36
Let the marks in french be x
Marks in German = (x - 22)
ATQ:
x - 22 = 28/100 × (x + x - 22)
⇒ 100x - 2200 = 56x - 616
⇒ 44x = 1584
⇒ x = 36
So,
Marks in French = 36
