उत्तर
Let x be the marks of the candidate in the third paper.
Then total marks secured in all three papers = 53 + 75 + x
Total marks of three papers = 100 + 100 + 100 = 300
∴ Percentage of marks = `("Total marks secured "/"Total marks") xx 100%`
= `(53 + 75 + x)/300 xx 100%`
But it is given that, he obtained over all of 70% marks.
∴ `(53 + 75 + x)/300 xx 100 = 70`
⇒ `(128 + x)/3 = 70`
⇒ 128 + x = 210
⇒ 210 – 128
∴ x = 82
Hence, he must secure 82 marks in the third paper to get an overall of 70% marks.
