      A 25 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 35 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 30 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 42 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 50 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Sum of the marks scored by him in 5 subjects = 5 Γ— 75 = 375
      Sum of the marks scored by him excluding highest and lowest marks = 3 Γ— 60 = 180
      Therefore, sum of his highest and lowest marks = 375 – 180 = 195
      Also, highest marks scored by him = 145
      Therefore, lowest marks scored by him = 195 – 145 = 50
