      Solution

      ATQ,

      Total marks in Chemistry, Physics, and Biology = 84 × 3 = 252

      Marks in Chemistry and Physics = 252 – 87 = 165

      Let the marks in Physics be ‘x’.

      Then marks in Chemistry = 1.2x

      So, x + 1.2x = 165

      2.2x = 165

      x = 165 / 2.2

      x = 75

      So, marks in Physics = 75 marks
