A's marks in Biology are 20 less than 25% of the total marks obtained by him in Biology, Maths and Drawing. If his marks in Drawings be 50, what are his marks in Maths ?

A. 40

B. 45

C. 50

D. Cannot be determined

Answer: Option D

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Let B + M + D = $$x$$
Then,
B = 25 of $$x$$ - 20
$$\eqalign{ & = \left( {\frac{{25x}}{{100}} - 20} \right) \cr & = \left( {\frac{x}{4} - 20} \right) \cr} $$
And D = 50
∴ $$\frac{x}{4}$$ - 20 + M + 50 = $$x$$
or M = $$\left( {\frac{{3x}}{{4}} - 30} \right)$$
So, marks in Maths cannot be determined.
