Steps: 2 Marks
Answer: 1 Mark
Marks scored by Aamir = 54
Marks scored by Usha = 100 - 34 = 66
The ratio of the marks of Aamir to Usha = 54 : 66 = 9 : 11
Marks scored by Preeti = 72
Let the marks scored by Kunal be x.
∴72:x=9:11
⇒72x=911
⇒x72=119
⇒x=72×119=8×11
⇒x=88
∴ Marks obtained by Kunal is 88.
