Question

In a test, abha gets twice the marks as that of palak .two times abha's marks and three times palak's marks make 280.then find their marks.

Answer 1

Hello friend

Let the marks secured by palak be x

So according to the problem, marks secured by abha are 2x

2(2x)+3(x)=280

4x+3x=280

7x=280

x=280/7=40

Palaks marks are x=40

Abhas marks are 2x=2*40=80

Answer 2

Marks secured by Abha : 2x
Marks secured by Palak : x

2(2x) + 3(x)  = 280
     4x +  3x    = 280
         7x         = 280    
                  x  = 40       


Therefore, marks secured by Abha = 80.
                   marks secured by Palak = 40.

Hope it helps......................
