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
