The following table gives the percentage of marks obtained by seven students in six different subjects in an examination.

The Numbers in the Brackets give the Maximum Marks in Each Subject.

Student Subject (Max. Marks)
Maths Chemistry Physics Geography History Computer Science
(150) (130) (120) (100) (60) (40)

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.

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.

In question, it is not given anywhere that the marks are in %. Maximum marks (Subject) is only mentioned. So the solution must be 520/7 = 74.28.

Thanks guys. It clear my doubt. I didn't understand at first and after reading your post I came to know the reason. I really appreciate it.

I am replying for the previous comment, I am in small confusion of (%) sorry for that comment so the right answer is 89.14.

In Computer Science Max Mark is 40, But Student Marks is given up to 90. How can we get 90 marks even Max mark is 40 only.

We can 1/7 * (90+80+70+80+85+65+50).
= 1/7 * 520.
= 74.2857 * 1.2 (full mark 120%) = 89.14.

How can it be possible, max marks of history & com-science are less than the marks obtained by the students?

Pavan W. said:   7 years ago
Easy way:-

((Total Marks)/(No. of Students))*(outoff marks).
i.e. (520/7)*120 = 89.14.

[520*120]/7 =86.14.

Mouni said:   8 years ago
Simple= 520/100*120=624.

You can try to first divisible get 0 or canceled and got multiply 12*52=624.

@Neharika:

All above total markes same, so per add 120 is common

a%150 + b%150 + c%150=(a +b +c)%150
