Data Interpretation - Table Charts - Discussion

Dear all,

My name is Bhupendra sharma in my opinion the given answer of the question is not correct because according the question we have to find num of students obtained 60% and more.

So what is 60% of 150 = 90 for maths.

Similarly 60% of 130 = 78 for chem.
60% of 120 = 72 for phy.
60% of 100 = 60 for geo.
60% of 60 = 36 for history.
60% of 40 = 24 for com. sci.

So sajal and rohit obtain 60 or more than 60 marks in each subject but not obtained 60%.

Please friends if I am wrong than inform me or post your answer.

Thank you.

@All

I request you all to read the given direction carefully.

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

Example:-

Sajal 60 (Chemistry subject, Maximum 130).

Here 60 is NOT 60/130. It is 60% of 130 i.e., Mark = 78/130.

So, Sajal and Rohit obtained 60 or above 60 PERCENTAGE of marks in all subjects (columns as given below).

Sajal	90	60	70	70	90	70
Rohit	80	65	80	80	60	60

Therefore the given answer is correct.

I hope this will help you. Have a nice day!

If the bracket shows the maximum marks obtained, then in history and computer science all got more than the actual marks.

How it is possible?

The question says 60% or above in all the subjects, therefore.

60%150=90 so only Ayush, Aman, and Sajal scored.

60%130=78 by this only Aman scored remaining are not.

But in geography, Aman scored only 40.
So he is also not got 60 in all subjects.

That means no one scored 60%above.

Therefore, The answer should be NONE.

@Rakesh.

The question doesn't ask for percentages averaging 60% & above otherwise you would be correct. It asks for all students who scored above 60% in each subject, nothing to do with averages.

As others have mentioned already, the data is in percentages otherwise the computer science table wouldn't make sense because all the marks would be above the 40 mark.

To simplify Tarum got 80% of 40 marks in computer science (80*40/100 = 36 Marks) 36 marks = 80%.

If the bracket shows the maximum marks obtained, then in history and computer science all got more than the actual marks.
How it is possible?

The question says 60% or above in all the subjects, therefore.

60%150=90 so only Ayush, Aman, and Sajal scored.
60%130=78 by this only Aman scored remaining are not.

But in geography, Aman scored only 40 so he is also not got 60 in all subjects.

That means no one scored 60%above. So, The answer should be NONE.

Just find the percentages of one subject for all students means, first we should find the math percentages for all students. It will make it easy to solve fastly.

When you will go to find Math then you will get 3 students Ayush, Aman, Sajal. Now you have a max of three students only so repeat the same process for these 3 students.

Here, Rohit got below 60% in Math. And question says for all subject.

Thank You!

This question is little bit tricky. Here, we need to know that in the given question itself, the data is about percentages. So, as per the question, we need to find percentages of those given values, and we have to check how many numbers have more than 60%.

So we can clearly say that the 2 numbers are Sajal and Rohit. The percentages of all are not less than 60 in the given table.

So, option B is correct.

Hello friends, I have got an other doubt in the given question 60% & above of all the subjects, but not each and every subject?

Then the problem is, we need take the average of all the subjects of the students isn't it.

For eg. AYUSH marks - 90, 50, 90, 60, 70, 80. These are the marks in %. If we take average we will get 73%.

So AYUSH is also got more than 60%. What do you think?

Except the above mentioned line by VINAY, following occur in respect of question# 2:-

Maximum Marks in Chemistry are 130 whose 60% become 78. There is only AMAN who secured more than 60% in chemistry but AMAN got only 40% in Geography..... this conclude that no one got more than 60% in each subject.

Please,kindly correct me if i am wrong.

Total marks in computer science is 40 and history are 60. Then how it is possible to get 80, 90 marks in both subjects. Moreover, maximum marks in Chemistry are 130 whose 60% is 78. There is only AMAN who secured more than 60% in chemistry. So the answer should be [D]. NONE...

Please, correct me if I am wrong
