Also M+E= 180 so M is 150.
But S+M= 170 S= 40
Here M= 130.
But S+M= 170 S= 40
Here M= 130.

According to the question he got 60% (avg. Of 4 sujects).
It means each subject carrying 100 marks but as per your solution, he got 150 marks in maths.

There are 4 Sub. and as per your sol; it shows
E=60 and M+S=180 hence Sum will be 240.
(240= 4 Sub). In such a case where is the marks of 4th sub.

@All.
Here, They are just asking English marks. While 1 and 2 are definitely giving the marks of English. My answer is both 1 and 2 are right. Those statements give marks of English clearly.

At last, in substitution in (1) equation.
M is not (E+10),
S is (E+10) so your answer may be wrong.
And option E is right.
