B Correct answer
Explanation

Let Rinku = R, Mohit = M, Suman = S. Average = 65 means R + M + S = 195. R = M + 12 (R is 12 more than M). Alok = R + 18 = M + 30. Alok's marks = 65 + 38 = 103. So M + 30 = 103, meaning M = 73. Then R = 73 + 12 = 85. S = 195 - 85 - 73 = 37. Sum of Mohit and Suman = 73 + 37 = 110. Option A (124) is incorrect. Option C (108) is incorrect. Option D (120) is incorrect.
