1. 42, 33
2. 42, 36
3. 44, 33
4. 44, 36

Answer & Explanation

Answer:- 1

Explanation

Let Marks of first student be x And (x+9).
Then, x+9 = 56/100(x + 9 +x)
= 25(x+9)
= 14 (2x + 9)
= 3x = 99
Therefore x = 33.So, their marks are 42 and 33

13. If 20% of a = b, then b% of 20 is the same as:
1. None of these
2. 10% of a
3. 4% of a
4. 20% of a

14. Two numbers A and B are such that the sum of 5% of A and 4% of B is two-third of the sum of 6% of A and 8% of B. Find the ratio of A : B.
1. 2 : 1
2. 1 : 2
3. 1 : 1
4. 4 : 3

Answer & Explanation

Answer:- 4

5% of A + 4% of B =(2/3)(6% of A + 8% of B)
(5A/100)+(4B/100)=(2/3)((6A/100)+(8B/100)
=>15A+12B=12A+16B
=> 3A = 4B
