  • Question
  • One-third of Rahul's marks in Mathematics exceeds one-half of his marks in Hindi by 30. If he got 480 marks in the two subjects together, how many marks did he get in Hindi ?


  • Options
  • A. 200
  • B. 294
  • C. 156
  • D. 196

  • Correct Answer
  • 156 

    Explanation

    Let Rahul's marks in Mathematics = x
    and in Hindi = y
    According to the question,
    1/3 x - 1/2y = 30
    ? 2x - 3y = 180 ...(i)
    Also, given
    x + y = 480 ...(ii)
    By solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
    x = 324
    and y =156
