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.

@Sam

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

How we got 624?

@Neharika:

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

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

Because in the table % of marks obtained in each subjects are mentioned.
