This looks great. There is one small question. Texworks sends two
option to pdflatex, namely,  '$synctexoption' and '$fullname'. So, to
be able to use the synctexoption, do I have to redefine the pdflatex
command as:

$pdflatex = 'pdflatex $synctexoption %T'

In this case what is the exact value for $synctexoption (may be some
texworks folks here?). And then:

latexmk -pdf $fullname ???

BTW, How are the options corresponding to '%O' identified? Would the
following command work?

latexmk -pdf $synctexoption $fullname

where both the variables are supplied by Tw while calling latexmk.
