Question 160

Neha scored 1.2 times as many marks in Science as in Sanskrit and in Social Science, she scored 20 more marks than Science. If she secured 85.5% marks in these three subjects out of a total 600 marks (in the given three subjects only), how much did she score in Social Science?

Solution

Let marks scored in Science, Sanskrit and Social Science be P, Q and R respectively.
P= 1.2Q
R = P + 20
Now, P+Q+R = 600*0.855 = 513
We get P = 174
Marks scored in Social Science = 194
Option A is the correct answer.
