One-third of Rahul's marks in Mathematis exceeds one-half of his marks in Hindi by 30. If he got 480 marks in the two subjects together, how many marks did he get in Hindi?

A) 200

B) 294

C) 156

D) 196

Correct answer:
C) 156

Description for Correct answer:

Let Rahul's marks in Mathematics = x

and in Hindi = y

According to the question,

\( \Large \frac{1}{3}x - \frac{1}{2}y = 30 \)

=> \( \Large 2x - 3y = 180 \) ...(i)

Also, given

x + y = 480 ...(ii)

By solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get

x = 324

and y = 156
