(correct to one decimal place) Correct Answer 7.5
Calculation:
Marks of Amit in subject E = (80 × 150/100) = 120
Marks of Abhi in subject E = (74 × 150/100) = 111
Marks of Anuj in subject E = (84 × 150/100) = 126
Total marks of Amit, Abhi an Anuj = (120 + 111 + 126)
⇒ 357
Marks of Manju in subject B = (85 × 80/100) = 68
Marks of Amit in subject B = (65 × 80/100) = 52
Marks of Rekha in subject B = (75 × 80/100) = 60
Marks of Anuj in subject B = (55 × 80/100) = 44
Marks of Abhi in subject B = (65 × 80/100) = 52
Marks of Vikram in subject B = (70 × 80/100) = 56
Total marks of all the six students in subject B = (68 + 52 + 60 + 44 + 52 + 56)
⇒ 332
Required percentage =
⇒ (25/332 × 100)
⇒ (2500/332)
⇒ 7.5
∴ Required percentage is 7.5
