What are the average marks obtained by all the seven students in Physics? (rounded off to two digit after decimal)
77.26
89.14
91.37
96.11
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Average marks obtained in Physics by all the seven students

 
= 1 x [ (90% of 120) + (80% of 120) + (70% of 120)
7
              + (80% of 120) + (85% of 120) + (65% of 120) + (50% of 120) ]
= 1 x [ (90 + 80 + 70 + 80 + 85 + 65 + 50)% of 120 ]
7
= 1 x [ 520% of 120 ]
7
= 624
7
= 89.14.

It's simple.

You can add all the marks obtained in physics by 7students, you will get 520 of 120.
Here of 120 mean: result/100 * total mark.
120/100 * 520 = 624
624/7 = 89.14.

520/7 = 74.28
74.28 * 120 = 8913.6
8913.6/100 = 89.136
= 89.14.

As they have given the percentage of marks, we need to calculate the actual marks, so 90% means, 90/100 (120). From this, we get the actual marks scored.

Correct me, If my concept is wrong.

520 marks are received for 7 students out of 840 marks.

Average marks received are 74 approximately.

As per my solution;

First, l am calculating to the total % in physics 120% total marks 7.


(90+80+70+80+85+65+50)/7 * 120 = 520/7 * 120 = 74.3 * 120 = 89.16.
