GIVEN :

In subject A Akash scored = 71 marks

He scored 58% marks in subject B and x marks in subject C.

Maximum marks in each subject were 150.

Percentage obtained by Akash in all the three subjects together were 54%.

 

CALCULATION :

In subject B Akash scored = 150 × (58/100) = 87

∴ Total marks scored by Akash = 71 + 87 + x = 158 + x

According to problem,

⇒ 158 + x = (150 + 150 + 150) × (54/100)

⇒ 158 + x = 243

⇒ x = 85
