Correct Answer 12.5
Calculation:
Marks obtained by C in science = 85% × 80 = 68
Marks obtained by D in science = 75% × 80 = 60
Marks obtained by F in science = 65% × 80 = 52
Total marks obtained by C,D & F in science = 68 + 60 +52 = 180
Marks obtained by B in science = 75% × 80 = 60
Marks obtained by B in Hindi = 68% × 75 = 51
Marks obtained by B in Social studies = 49% × 100 = 49
Total marks obtained by B in Science, Hindi & Social Studies = 60 + 51 + 49 = 160
So,
The total marks obtained by students C, D, and F in Science is more than the total marks obtained by B in Science, Hindi and Social Studies by
⇒ {(180 -160) /160} × 100%
⇒ 12.5%
∴ The total marks obtained by students C, D and F in Science is more than the total marks obtained by B in Science, Hindi, and Social Studies by 12.5%.
