    C 500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the total available marks in the examination be 100x. Marks scored by A = 40% of 100x= 40x Marks scored by B = 70% of 100x= 70x According to question, => 40x + 40 = 70x – 80 => 30x = 120 => x = 4 Total marks of the examination = 100x = 400
