Question

The ratio of marks obtained by a and b is 8:5 if a secured 18 marks more than b then find their individual marks

Answer 1

✨Answer:

A = 48 marks.

B = 30 marks

✨Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio a: b = 8 :5

➡️Let a marks be 8x ad and b marks be 5x.

Now,

➡️A secures 18 marks more than b.

So,

5x + 18 = 8x

18 = 8x - 5x

18 = 3x

x = 6

➡️ Now marks of a = 8x = 8 ☓ 6 = 48 marks

➡️ Marks of b = 5x = 5 ☓ 6 = 30 marks.
