- Avanish scored 78% in the examination.

- Kapil scored 64% in the same examination.

- The combined total marks obtained by both Kapil and Avanish is 923.

- Let's calculate the marks of Kapil.

- Let the total possible marks in the exam be denoted as 'x'.

- Avanish's marks = 78% of x = 0.78x.

- Kapil's marks = 64% of x = 0.64x.

- Their combined marks are: 0.78x + 0.64x = 923.

- Simplify: 1.42x = 923.

- Therefore, x = 923 / 1.42 = 650.

- Kapil's marks: 0.64 * 650 = 416.

Correct Answer: Option 2 - 416
