Ideally you would show the calculations for both strike prices.
However, most of the marks are for proving that you know how options work, and so if you are short of time you would get most of the marks by just showing it for one of the strike prices (and writing that there is another one available).

sir, then does it means I can choose 95.25 as strike price by stating that is the best price in worst scenario case and get full mark on the calculation for option in future in exam?

To get full marks you would have to look at both exercise prices but you would get most of the marks by just looking at one. (It may be best in the worst case, but it would be worst in the best case because the premium (which would be payable anyway) would be higher.
