The following table shows the marks of a student in an exam. Subject Max. marks Marks obtained Hindi 100 74 English 50 42 Math 150 124 Science 100 73 Social Science 50 47   In how many subject, percentage marks obtained by the student in each subject is more than his overall percentage marks? Correct Answer 3

Given:

There are five subjects, Hindi, English, math, science, Social Science.

Total marks obtained = 360.

Total Max. marks of all the subjects = 450.

Formula used:

Percent of marks obtained = (Marks obtained/Max marks) × 100

Calculation:

Overall % marks = (360/450) × 100 = 80%

% marks in Hindi = (74/100) × 100 = 74%

% marks in English = (42/50) × 100 = 84%

% marks in Maths = (124/150) × 100 = 82.67%

% marks in Science = (73/100) × 100 = 73%

% marks in Social science = (47/50) × 100 = 94%.

In English, Math, Social science % of marks is greater than overall %.

∴ Option C is correct.
