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.

Why we are calculating % over here? means in order to find avg we just sum all the number/total num.

Why we took 120%?

They just asked the average right? If anyone knows it, please explain to me.

We need to multiply it by 120 because the total marks of the physics examination is 120.

They have given in the question that percentage of marks so we are taking 520% of 120.

@Sam

(90+80+70+80+85+65+50/100)*120 = ((520)/100)*120 = 52*12 = 624
