उत्तर
Let the marksman hit x times and miss y times
Therefore, x - y = 100
⇒ y = x - 100......(i)
Also given, Amount earned
= Rs.29
= (29 x 100) paise
= 2900 paise
Therefore,
50x - 20y = 2900
5x - 2y = 290 .......(ii)
Substituting (i) in (ii)
5x - 2(x - 100) = 29
5x - 2x + 200 = 290
3x = 90
x = 30
Therefore, marks man hits 30 times and misses 70 times.
