Rudra said, "I have got 573 marks and the percentage is 95.5. Me and my brother used to sit together after coming from school and do homework. We used to together plan on what to study and both of us want to become computer engineers. We not only did our homework together, but also did some extra studies for five to six hours a day."
Ritwa said that he too has also secured 573 marks like his brother. "However, I didn't expect that both would secure the same percentage. During school examinations, my brother Rudra also scored more. But for the class X exams, we had kept an identical goal of securing similar marks.
Their mother Sarita Deepak Shakira said that both her children were confident of securing good marks. "The two supported each other and hence achieved the success. I am not surprised as since class one, the two brothers are almost securing similar percentages," she said.
