Avanish got 78% marks in an examination and Kapil got 64% marks in the same examination. If the sum of the marks obtained by Kapil and Avanish is 923, then find the marks obtained by Kapil in the examination.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 416.
Total marks = x
According to the question;
78% of x + 64% of x = 923
= (78x + 64x)/ 100 = 923
= 142x = 92300 ⇒ x = 650
Total marks = 650
Marks obtained by Kapil = 64% of x = 64 % of 650 = 416
