    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the marks obtained by Priya be ‘x’.

    So, marks obtained by Neha = 1.50x

    According to question,

    (1.50x – x) + 160 = 310

    0.50x = 310 – 160

    0.50x = 150

    x = 150 / 0.50

    x = 300

    Therefore, marks obtained by Neha = 1.50 × 300 = 450 marks
