Answer:
here is your answer...(mark it branliest plzz)
Step-by-step explanation:
let,total marks be x.
let,passing marks be y.
for 1st candidate--
marks=48x/100=12x/25
so,y=12x/25-24
y-12x/25= -24
25y-12x= -600.........(i)
for second candidate--
marks =36x/100=9x/25
so,y=9x/25+12
y-9x/25=12
25y-9x=300..........(ii)
subtracting eq.(i)from (ii)-
3x=900
x=300
putting x=300 in eq.(ii)--
25y-9(300)=300
25y=300+2700
25y=3000
y=120
