Question

Mahesh secured 5 marks in mathematics than in science.If his average marks in both the subjects is 82.5, find his marks in both the subjects.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the marks in science be = x

Let the marks in maths be = x+5

Average = 82.5

Average = x+x+5/2

2* 82.5 = 2x+5

165 = 2x+5

165-5 = 2x

160= 2x

x = 160/2= 80

so Marks in Science = 80

Marks in Maths = x+5= 80+5 = 85
