Correct Answer: 30
Solution :
Let the score of A in Science be $x$.
⇒ Score in English = $2x$
The ratio of his scores in English and Maths is 2 : 3.
Let the score in maths be $y$.
$\therefore \frac{2x}{y}=\frac{2}{3}$
⇒ $y=3x$
According to the question, the sum of scores in Science, English, and Maths is 180.
$x+2x+3x=180$
⇒ $6x=180$
⇒ $x=30$
The score of A in Science is 30.
Hence, the correct answer is 30.
