      Solution

      ATQ,

      Total marks scored by Ravi in Economics, Accountancy, and Business Studies = 88 × 3 = 264

      So, marks in Economics and Accountancy = 264 – 94 = 170

      Let the marks in Accountancy be ‘x’.

      So, marks in Economics = 1.5x

      So, x + 1.5x = 170

      2.5x = 170

      x = 170 / 2.5

      x = 68

      So, marks obtained by Ravi in Accountancy = 68 marks
