Let 'a' and 'b' be the marks obtained by Romit in Verbal English and Logical Analysis respectively. It is given that,
a+b+70=210
a+b=140.... (1)

2b−3a=30.....(2)
On solving equation (1) and (2) we get b=90 and a=50
Hence, the difference between the marks obtained by him in Mathematics and Verbal English =70−50=20.
Therefore, option C is the correct answer.
