The total marks obtained by a student in Mathematics and Physics is 40 and his score in Chemistry is 20 marks more than that in Physics. Find the average marks scored in Mathamatics and Chemistry together.	Choices:
A) 40  B) 26  C) 27  D) 28  E) 30

Rationale: "let the marks obtained by the student in mathematics , physics and chemistry be m , p and c respectively . given , m + c = 40 and c - p = 20 m + c / 2 = [ ( m + p ) + ( c - p ) ] / 2 = ( 40 + 20 ) / 2 = 30 . answer : e"
Answer: E
