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. Find their scores. ????​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Answer:

Palak's marks = x

Abha's marks = 2x

According to the question,

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

$4x + 3x = 280$

$7x = 280 \\ x = \frac{280}{7}$

$x = 40$

So, Palak's marks is 40 (x=40)

Abha's marks is 80 (x=2×40)
