Gopal got twice as many marks in Physics as in Chemistry. The proportion of his marks in Physics and Biology is 6 : 5. What are his marks in Chemistry if his total marks in Physics, Chemistry and Biology are 210?
1). 90
2). 45
3). 48
4). 75
Since the ratio of marks obtained in Physics and Biology is 6 : 5
Let the marks obtained in Physics and biology be 6x and 5x respectively.
According to the given information,
⇒ Gopal’s marks in Chemistry = 3x
? Total Marks in Chemistry, Biology and Physics = 210
⇒ 3x + 5x + 6x = 210
⇒ 14x = 210
∴ x = 15
∴ Marks in Chemistry = 15x = 3 × 15 = 45
Gopal got 45 marks in Chemistry
