Solution
The correct option is B 35 Guru's scores in five successive rounds were 35, -10, -15, 20 and 5. His total score will be given by the sum of the scores obtained in the five consecutive rounds. ∴Total score = Sum of all the scores =35 + (-10) + (-15) + 20 + 5 = 35 - 10 - 15 + 20 + 5 =35 - 25 + 25 = 35
