    Explanation

    Let marks of Karim's Mathematics be = m And, marks of Karim's Social Studies be = s Then, A/Q, m/3 - s/2 = 30 (2m - 3s)/6 = 30 2m - 3s = 180 .................. (1) And, we know that, m+s = 240 ............... (2) multipying (2) with 2, we get, 2m + 2s = 480 ................. (3) From (3) - (1), we get, 2m + 2s - 2m +3s = 480 + 180 5s = 660 s = 660/5 = 132
