Akash scored 92 marks in subject A. He scored 68% marks in subject B and x marks in subject C. Maximum marks in each subject is 250. The overall percentage marks obtained by Akash in all the three subjects together were 44%. How many marks did he score in subject C? Correct Answer 68

In subject A Akash scored = 92

In subject B Akash scored = 250 × 68/100 = 170

Suppose in subject C Akash scored x marks

Total marks scored by Akash = 92 + 170 + x = 262 + x

According to the question,

262 + x = (250 × 3) × 44/100

⇒ 262 + x = 330

⇒ x = 68

∴ He scored 68 marks in subject C
