1. One third of Aman's marks in Mathematics exceeds a half of his marks in English by 30. If he got 240 marks in the two subjects together, how many marks did he get in English?
- A. 180
- B. 180
- C. 180
- D. 180
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Let marks in math = x
So, marks in english = 240 - x
ATQ,
x/3 - 30 = ( 240 - x ) / 2
2x/3 - 60 = 240 - x
2x/3 + x = 240 + 60
5x/3 = 300
x = 300* 3/5
x = 180
Marks in math = 180
Marks in english = 240 - 180 = 60
