A student scored an average of 60 marks in 3 subjects: Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. If the average marks in Physics and Mathematics is 90 and that in Physics and Chemistry is 70, what are the marks in Physics?
Choose the correct choice from the following choices.
A) 86	B) 160	C) 76	D) 140	E) 26

Rationale: "given m + p + c = 60 * 3 = 180 - - - ( 1 ) m + p = 90 * 2 = 180 - - - ( 2 ) p + c = 70 * 2 = 140 - - - ( 3 ) where m , p and c are marks obtained by the student in mathematics , physics and chemistry . p = ( 2 ) + ( 3 ) - ( 1 ) = 180 + 140 - 180 = 140 answer : d"
Answer: D
