Answer 1

ANSWER :

The number of students who got first division in 2006 are 1867 and in 2007 there are 1901 students

EXPLANATION :

Let the students who got first division in the year 2006 be x

And year 2007 be y

So y = x + 34

Total = x+y = 3768

Substituting value of y,

x + x + 34 = 3768

2x = 3734

x = 3734/2 = 1867

y = 1867 + 34 = 1901

So total no. of students who got first division in 2006 = x = 1867

And in 2007 the no. of students are 1901
