Answer:
Let the points scored by Kaarmugilan be 10x
So, the points scored by Kavitha be 11x
A.T.Q.
'Sum of their points' is '84 points'
10x + 11x = 84
21x = 84
x = 84/21
x = 4
points scored by kaarmugilan = 10x
= 10 x 4
= 40
points scored by kavita = 11x
= 11 x 4
= 44
let us check if our answer is correct
total points = 84
= 10x + 11x
= 40 + 44
= 84
hence kavita got 44 points
