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.

Thanks Everyone It clear my Doubt.

1/7 x [(90% of120) +(80% of120) +(70% of120)+(80% of120) + (85% of120) + (65%of120) + (50% of120)].

=1/7x(90+80+70+80+85+65+50)% of 120].

=1/7x [ 520% of 120 ] i.e 1/7 * [520/100*120].

1/7*[52*12] = 624/7.

= 89.14.

How this calculate?

1/7x[520% of 120].

What is the meaning (of) which symbol use?

Lakshmi said:   10 years ago
I am replying for the previous comment, I am in small confusion of (%) sorry for that comment so the right answer is 89.14.

Lakshmi said:   10 years ago
The original form of 520% of 120 is 520*100/120.

Why we are taking 90% of 120?

Fareen Khan said:   9 years ago
Because the actual marks obtained by students are not given, marks are given in (%) and Ayush got 90 (%) marks out of 120 marks.

So we need to calculate 90(%) of 120 to get the marks obtained by Ayush in physics.

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.

@Sanjay.

It is given in the question that table gives percentage of marks.

Shashank Rawat said:   9 years ago
How can it be possible, max marks of history & com-science are less than the marks obtained by the students?

Shubham said:   9 years ago
The correct answer should be 74.29 as per average rule.
