Question

Raja got $76\%$ marks and Seema got $480$ marks in a test. The maximum marks of the test is equal to the marks obtained by Raja and Seema together. How many marks did Raja score in the test?

Answer 1

Let maximum marks be $=x$

and raja got $=y$marks

Now, according to question

$\Rightarrow y+480=x$

$\Rightarrow \frac{76x}{100}+480=x$

$\Rightarrow 76x+48000=100x$

$\Rightarrow 24x=48000$

$\therefore x=2000$

and,

Raja got $=2000-480=1520$ marks.

Hence, the required answer is $1520$ marks .
