    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
