Solution

To find the sum of their English marks, we first need to find out how much they scored in English. We know that the total marks for both subjects for each person is 177.

Step 1: Since both Jack and Jill scored 177 marks each, the total marks for both subjects for both of them is 177 * 2 = 354 marks.

Step 2: We also know that the total of their Maths marks is 153.

Step 3: To find the total of their English marks, we subtract the total Maths marks from the total marks. So, 354 - 153 = 201 marks.

So, the sum of their English marks is 201.
