Answer 2

Answer:

Ramesh and Rajesh got 40 and 48 marks respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Here it is given that Ramesh got 8 marks less than Rajesh

So, if we assume that Rajesh got x marks

Then, Ramesh will get (x - 8) marks

The total marks they got is equal to 88

So, x + x - 8 = 88

                2x = 88 + 8

                 2x = 96

                   x = 96/2

                   x = 48

Marks of Ramesh = x - 8

                             = 48 - 8

                             = 40

Marks of Rajesh = x

                          = 48
