    B 225 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 100 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 250 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the marks obtained by B be ‘x’. So, marks obtained by A = 1.25x According to question, (1.25x – x) + 140 = 199 0.25x = 199 – 140 0.25x = 59 x = 59/0.25 x = 236 Therefore, marks obtained by A = 1.25 × 236 = 295 marks
