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.

@Neharika:

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

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

How we got 624?

Sekar said:   1 decade ago
@Sam

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

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

Sami said:   1 decade ago
Why we are taking 1/7 here?

DEVARAJU said:   1 decade ago
We are taking only marks here. Why we have to take % here.

Actually marks are given of all students so, We calculate only avg of marks.

Sol: Total marks is 520/7 = 74.29.

Here marks is not given percentage is given of max marks.

Reshma pawar said:   1 decade ago
Yes @Namit you are right. So for calculating average, first we have to find the marks obtained by each student out of max. Marks and then add all marks and divide by 7.

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.
