      Solution

      ATQ,

      Total marks in all three subjects = 95 × 3 = 285

      Marks in Economics and Business Studies = 285 – 105 = 180

      Let the marks in Business Studies be ‘x’.

      Then marks in Economics = 1.4x

      x + 1.4x = 180

      2.4x = 180

      x = 180 / 2.4

      x = 75

      So, marks in Business Studies = 75 marks
