Two students appeared at an examination. One of them secured 9 marks more than the other and his marks was 56% of the sum of their marks. The marks obtained by them are: Options: A) 39, 30 B) 41, 32 C) 42, 33 D) 43, 34 E) 41, 44
C   Let their marks be (x + 9) and x.   Then, x + 9 = 56/100(x + 9 + x)   25(x + 9) = 14(2x + 9)   3x = 99   x = 33   So, their marks are 42 and 33.
