    Solution

    ATQ, Maya’s score = Neel's score - 25 = 90 - 25 = 65 Priya’s score = Maya's score + 42 = 65 + 42 = 107 Rohit’s score = Priya's score - 30 = 107 - 30 = 77 Vikram’s score in the first test = Rohit's score - 18 = 77 - 18 = 59 Total maximum marks of tests = 130 + 160 = 290 Vikram has to score 65% of 290 = 290 × (65/100) = 188.5 marks Remaining required marks = 188.5 - 59 = 129.5 Required % = (129.5/160) × 100 = 80.9375% or 81%
