Correct Answer :
399
Solution :
The correct option is 399.
Let the total marks in the examination be represented by and the marks obtained by Ramesh be represented by .
According to the problem, Bishnu scored 52% of the total marks, and this score is 23 marks less than Ramesh's marks. We can write this as an equation:
Rearranging this to express Ramesh's marks in terms of the total marks gives:
(Equation 1)
Similarly, Asha scored 64% of the total marks, which is 34 marks more than Ramesh's marks. This gives the following equation:
Rearranging this to express Ramesh's marks gives:
(Equation 2)
Since both equations represent Ramesh's marks (), we can equate the two expressions:
Subtracting from both sides and adding 34 to both sides:
Solving for :
So, the total marks in the examination are 475.
Geeta scored 84% of the total marks. We calculate Geeta's marks as follows:
Therefore, the marks obtained by Geeta is 399.
