Correct Answer :

Option E

240

Solution :

The correct option is 240.

Let us analyze the given information step-by-step to find the required values for each person:

1. Given Data:
- Total games won by B = 50.

2. Information about Person A & Person B:
- The average of the number of games lost by A and won by B is 105.
Games lost by A+Games won by B2=105

Substituting the value of games won by B (50):
Games lost by A+50=210
Games lost by A=210-50=160

- The ratio of total games lost by A to total games won by A is 4 : 3.
Games lost by AGames won by A=43

Using Games lost by A = 160:
160Games won by A=43
Games won by A=160×34=120

- The ratio of games won by A to games lost by B is 3 : 2.
Games won by AGames lost by B=32

Using Games won by A = 120:
120Games lost by B=32
Games lost by B=120×23=80

3. Required Calculation:
We need to find the sum of total games lost by B and A:
Sum=Games lost by B+Games lost by A
Sum=80+160=240

Thus, the sum of total games lost by B and A is 240.
