    C.  117
    D.  Cannot be determined
    E.  None of these
    Answer & Explanation
    Answer : Option B
    Explanation :
    Let the score of Ajay = $x$
    Rahul = $x$ - 15
    Manish = $x$ - 25
    According to question, $x$ = 63 + 30
    $x$ = 93
    Score of Ajay = 93
    then Rahul = 93 - 15 = 78
    then Manish = 93 - 25 = 68
    Total marks of Rahul,
    Manish and Suresh = 3 $\times$ 63 = 189
    Suresh = 189 - (78 + 68) = 43
    Manish + Suresh = 68 + 43 = 111
