Solution

Let Joseph scored ' $x$ ' marks
Amit scored $x - 10$ mark
Ali scored $x + 15$ mark

Total marks $= 245$
$\Rightarrow x + (x - 10) + (x + 15) = 245$
$\Rightarrow 3 x + 5 = 245$
$\Rightarrow 3 x = 240$
$\Rightarrow x = 80$

Amit's score :- $x - 10 = 80 - 10$
$= 70$ marks

Hence, Amit's score was $70$ marks.
