Option 4: English and Mathematics
Correct Answer: Science and English
Solution :
Considering option (1), we have,
Marks of geography in 1985 = 35
Marks of mathematics in 1985 = $\frac{88}{200} \times 100$ = 44
Considering option (2), we have,
Marks of science in 1985 = $\frac{120}{200} \times 100$ = 60
Marks of Geography in 1985 = 35
Considering option (3), we have,
Marks of science in 1985 = $\frac{120}{200} \times 100$ = 60
Marks of English in 1985 = $\frac{90}{150} \times 100$ = 60
Considering option (4), we have,
Marks of English in 1985 = $\frac{90}{150} \times 100$ = 60
Marks of Mathematics in 1985 = $\frac{88}{200} \times 100$ = 44
