Rohit scored an average marks of 55 in five subjects - English, Hindi, Maths, Science and Social Science. If he scored 45, 43, 58 and 44 in English, Hindi, Maths and Science respectively, what was his score in Social Science? Correct Answer 85

⇒ Let number in Social science be x

⇒ Average = (sum of observations)/(number of observations)

⇒ 55 = (45 + 43 + 58 + 44 + x)/5

⇒ 275 = 190 + x

⇒ x = 85
