Solution :-
Let the marks scored by Amit be x
Then, marks scored by Joseph = x - 8
And. marks scored by Kumar = x + 12
Total marks scored by Amit, Joseph and kumar = 205
Now, according to the question.
⇒ x + x - 8 + x + 12 = 205
⇒ 3x + 4 = 205
⇒ 3x = 205 - 4
⇒ 3x = 201
⇒ x = 201/3
⇒ x = 67
So, Amit scored 67 marks.
Marks scored by Joseph = 67 - 8
= 59 marks
So, Joseph scored 59 marks.
