Hi Dristi Dewangan,
Your question is incomplete. Question is solved by assuming the missing data.
There are 50 questions each in English, Maths, logic and visual. +1 for one correct answer and -0.25 for one wrong answer.
Let us assume he has attempted all the questions.
Let the number of correct answers in English and Maths be 'x'.
The number of correct answers in logic = 1.2x
The number of correct answers in visual = 0.8x
Total number of correct answers = 4x
4x(1) + (200-4x)(-0.25) = 135
x = 37
Number of correct answers = 4*37 = 148
Hope this helps!
