(i) In which subject did the student score 105 marks?

(ii) How many more marks were obtained by the student in Mathematics than in Hindi? 

(iii) Examine whether the sum of the marks obtained in Social Science and Mathematics is more than that in Science and Hindi.

Answer 1

(i) The student scored 105 marks in Hindi. 

(ii) Marks obtained in Mathematics = 135 Marks obtained in Hindi = 105 

Difference = 135 – 105 = 30 

Thus, 30 more marks were obtained by the student in Mathematics than in Hindi. 

(iii) The sum of marks in Social Science and Mathematics = 97.5 + 135 = 232.5 The sum of marks in Science and Hindi = 120 + 105 = 225 Yes, the sum of the marks in Social Science and Mathematics is more than that in Science and Hindi.
