    A 420 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 665 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 570 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the marks obtained by Meena be ‘x’.

    So, marks obtained by Anjali = 1.40x
    According to question,

    (1.40x – x) + 150 = 270

    0.40x = 270 – 150

    0.40x = 120

    x = 120 / 0.40

    x = 300

    Therefore, marks obtained by Anjali = 1.40 × 300 = 420 marks
