Vinay got thrice as many marks in Maths as in English. The proportion of this marks in Maths and History is 4 : 3. If his total marks in Maths, English And History are 250. What are his marks in English?
Correct Answer: 40
Explanation:
M = 3E and M/H = 4/3
∴ H = 3/4 M = 3/4 x 3E = 9/4 E
Now M + E + H = 250
⇒ 3E + E + 9/4 E = 250
⇒ 25 E = 1000
∴ E = 40
