Data Interpretation - Table Charts - Discussion

I can't understand this.

Please give some clearity.

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.

Sajal and Tanvi have scored more than 60% marks too in all of the subjects. Isnt it?

I can't understand. Please clear my doubt.

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.

Yes, you are right @Sundar. Thanks.

@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!

@All.

Yes, I agree, the right answer is option B.
The table gives the *percentage of marks*. (Given on the question above the table)
So in the table, only two students have 60(i.e. 60 %) and above. i.e Sajal and Rohit.

Right, Thanks @Prabal Singh.

@Mounika.

80 is in percentage and 40 is total marks.

So, 80/100 * 40= 32.
So, 32/40 * 100=80. Here the marks in the bracket are total marks, not the percentage. He got only 32 out of 40. So, when they convert into a percentage, he got 80% of 40.

Thanks.
