Question

Marks scored by A and B in a test are in the ratio 13:6 respectively. If B had scored 4 more marks, then marks scored by A would be 30% more than that of B. Find the difference between actual marks scored by A and B.

A 14 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B 7 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C 10 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D 15 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
E 9 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

Let actual marks scored by A and B be 13x and 6x respectively. Difference between the marks scored by A and B = 13x – 6x = 7x According to question, => (6x + 4) × 1.3 = 13x => 7.8x + 5.2 = 13x => 5.2x = 5.2 => x = 1 Required difference = 7x = 7
