Nothing is invented here, so this question has no answer on record.
Explanation
Statement I Let maximum marks for test be $x$ Raman scored marks $=288-128=160$ marks According to question 25\% of $x=160$ $$\Rightarrow x=\frac{160 \times 100}{25}=640$$ Statement II : let minimum passing percentage be $y$ marks Marks score by Raman = 460 Minimum passing marks $=160+64=224$ According to question $y \%$ of $640=224$ $$y=\frac{224 \times 100}{640}=35\%$$ Both Statement I and II together are necessary to answer the question Hence option (e) is correct
