Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

  • Let Rahul’s score be x, Ajay’s score be w, Manish’s score be y and Suresh’s score be z. Then, $ \frac{x+y+z}{3}=63 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ x+y+z=189 $ $ x=w-15 $ $ x=y+10 $ $ w=30+63=93 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ x=78 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ y=68 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ z=189-(x+y) $ $ =189-(78+68) $ $ =189-146=43 $

$ \therefore $ Sum of Manish’s and Suresh score $ =y+z $ $ =68+43=111 $
