In a class test, the sum of the marks obtained by P in mathematics and science is 28. Had he got 3 more marks in mathematics and 4 marks less in science, the product of marks obtained in the two subjects would have been 180. Find the marks obtained by him in the two subjects separately. |

Answer» Let the marks obtained by P in mathematics and science be x and (28 - x) respectively. According to the given condition, (x + 3)(28 - x - 4) = 180 When x = 12, 28 - x = 28 - 12 = 16 When x =9, 28 - x = 28 - 9= 19 Hence, he obtained 12 marks in mathematics and 16 marks in science or 9 marks in mathematics and 19 marks in science. |
