Question

In a class test, the sum of Shefali’s marks in Mathematics and English is 30. Had she got 2 marks more in Mathematics and 3 marks less in English, the product of their marks would have been 210. Find her marks in the two subjects.

Answer 1

Let the marks in Maths be x.

Then, the marks in English will be 30 − x.

According to the given question,

If the marks in Maths are 12, then marks in English will be 30 − 12 = 18

If the marks in Maths are 13, then marks in English will be 30 − 13 = 17
