Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Let the marks secured by them be xx and (x+9)(x+9)

sum of their marks =x + (x+9)
= 2x+9
=x+(x+9)
=2x+9

Given that (x+9)(x+9) was 56% of the sum of their marks.
⇒(x+9)
=56100(2x+9)⇒(x+9)=1425(2x+9)⇒25x+225=28x+126⇒3x=99⇒x=33⇒(x+9)=56100(2x+9)⇒(x+9)=1425(2x+9)⇒25x+225=28x+126⇒3x=99⇒x=33

Then (x+9)=33+9=42(x+9)=33+9=42

Hence their marks are 33 and 42
