Here are a few hints:

a. The mean divides a distribution in half: 50% of the distribution is above the mean and 50% of the distribution is below the mean.

b. A score of 120 is one standard deviation above the mean.

c. A score of 140 is two standard deviations above the mean.

I'll let you take it from here.
