Best answer

(i) The student scored 105 marks in Hindi. 

(ii) Marks obtained in Mathematics = 135 Marks obtained in Hindi = 105 

Difference = 135 – 105 = 30 

Thus, 30 more marks were obtained by the student in Mathematics than in Hindi. 

(iii) The sum of marks in Social Science and Mathematics = 97.5 + 135 = 232.5 The sum of marks in Science and Hindi = 120 + 105 = 225 Yes, the sum of the marks in Social Science and Mathematics is more than that in Science and Hindi.
