    Solution

    ATQ, Harsh’s score = Kunal's score - 23 = 100 - 23 = 77 Simran’s score = Harsh's score + 38 = 77 + 38 = 115 Alok’s score = Simran's score - 28 = 115 - 28 = 87 Om’s score in the first test = Alok's score - 20 = 87 - 20 = 67 Total maximum marks of tests = 140 + 170 = 310 Om has to score 70% of 310 = 310 × (70/100) = 217 marks Remaining required marks = 217 - 67 = 150 Required % = (150/170) × 100 = 88.2353% or 88%
