उत्तर
Let x be the total marks.
Marks given for accent and presentation = 20% of x
= `20/100 xx x`
= `x/5`
Remaining marks = `x - x/5 = (4x)/5`
Marks reserved for subject matter = 60% of rest marks
= `60/100 xx (4x)/5`
= `(12x)/25`
Now, remaining marks
= `(4x)/5 - (12x)/25`
= `(20x- 12x)/25`
= `(8x)/25`
According to the question,
∴ `(8x)/25 = 8`
⇒ `x = (8 xx 25)/8 = 25`
Hence, total marks are 25.
