Question 63

Renuka got $$1\frac{1}{2}$$ times as many marks in mathematics as in English. Her total marks in mathematics, English and science are 190. If the ratio of the marks in mathematics and science is 2:3, find her science marks.

Solution

Renuka got $$1\frac{1}{2}$$ times as many marks in mathematics as in English.

Let's assume the marks got byĀ Renuka inĀ English is 2y.

marks got by Renuka inĀ mathematics =Ā $$1\frac{1}{2}\times 2y$$

=Ā $$\frac{3}{2}\times 2y$$

= 3y

If the ratio of the marks in mathematics and science is 2:3.

marks got by Renuka inĀ science =Ā $$\frac{3y}{2}\times\ 3$$

=Ā $$\frac{9y}{2}$$

= 4.5y

Her total marks in mathematics, English and science are 190.

3y+2y+4.5y =Ā 190

9.5y = 190

y = 20

Her marks inĀ science =Ā 4.5y

=Ā $$4.5\times20$$

= 90
