Answer:

marks in science = 85

marks in english = 35

Explanation:

average marks in science and maths = 70

marks in maths = 55

let marks in science = x

x + 55 / 2 = 70

x + 55 = 140

x = 140 - 55 = 85

thus marks obtained in science, x = 85

average marks in science and english = 60

let marks in english = y

85 + y / 2 = 60

85 + y = 120

y = 120 - 85 = 35

thus marks obtained in english, y = 35
