The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the Variables Let the marks scored by Bunny be \( B \), the marks scored by Sunny be \( S \), and the marks scored by Bharat be \( R \). ### Step 2: Set Up Ratios From the problem, we know: 1. The ratio of marks scored by Bunny and Sunny is \( 10:7 \). \[ \frac{B}{S} = \frac{10}{7} \] This can be rewritten as: \[ B = \frac{10}{7} S \quad \text{(1)} \] 2. The ratio of marks scored by Bharat and Sunny is \( 8:9 \). \[ \frac{R}{S} = \frac{8}{9} \] This can be rewritten as: \[ R = \frac{8}{9} S \quad \text{(2)} \] ### Step 3: Substitute the Known Value We know that Bharat scored \( R = 112 \) marks. Using equation (2): \[ 112 = \frac{8}{9} S \] ### Step 4: Solve for S To find \( S \), we can rearrange the equation: \[ S = 112 \times \frac{9}{8} \] Calculating this gives: \[ S = 112 \times 1.125 = 126 \] ### Step 5: Substitute S Back to Find B Now that we have \( S = 126 \), we can substitute this value back into equation (1) to find \( B \): \[ B = \frac{10}{7} \times 126 \] Calculating this gives: \[ B = 10 \times 18 = 180 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the marks scored by Bunny are \( \boxed{180} \). ---
