Question

Joseph scored 8 marks fewer then Amit in an examination Kumar score 12 marks more than Amit in total they scored 205 marks what was the score of Joseph?

Answer 1

Amit mark = x
Joseph mark = x-8
Kumar mark = x+12
total mark = 205 = x+x-8+x+12
3x+4 = 205
x=201/3
x= 67
Joseph mark =x-8 =67-8=59

Answer 2

let amit score be x

Joseph 's score => x - 8

kumar's score => x + 12

total score => 205

( x ) + ( x-8) + (x+12) = 205

x + x - 8 + x + 12 => 205

3x + 4 => 205

3x => 205 - 4 = 201

x => 201 /3 = 67

Joseph's score => x-8 => 67 - 8 => 59 ans.......
