Correct Answer: 75 and 50
Solution : Let the marks of student A as p and the marks of student B as q. From the problem, we have two equations: Since A got 25 marks more than B ⇒ p = q + 25 ...(1) Since the marks of A were equal to 60% of the sum of their marks ⇒ p = 0.6 × (p + q) ...(2) Substituting equation 1 into equation 2, we get: ⇒ q + 25 = 0.6 × (q + 25 + q) ⇒ q + 25 = 1.2q + 15 ⇒ 0.2q = 10 ⇒ q = 50 $\therefore$ p = 50 + 25 = 75 Hence, the correct answer is 75 and 50.
