Let the number of marks scored by Sanjay in English be ‘7x’
And the number of marks scored by Sanjay in Hindi be ‘11x’
According to question,
11x - 7x = 20
⇒ x = 5
∴ The number of marks scored by Sanjay in English = 7x = 7 × 5 = 35
And the number of marks scored by Sanjay in Hindi be ‘11x’
According to question,
11x - 7x = 20
⇒ x = 5
∴ The number of marks scored by Sanjay in English = 7x = 7 × 5 = 35
