Sol. Let the marks obtained by Veer and Kevin be $V$ and $K$ respectively.
According to the question,
$V = 2K + 6$ .... (i) (I) (1 Mark)
$V + K + 4 = 40$ .... (ii) (II) (1 Mark)
Solving (i) and (ii) we get, $V = 26$ and $K = 10$ (III) ($\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}$ Mark)
$\therefore$ Veer obtained $26$ marks and Kevin obtained $10$ marks.
