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?

According to me what I find is that they already provide us the percentage of marks in every subject.

The data given is the percentage not the marks. You guys are mixing both of them. Read the question carefully.

@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%.

None is the answer according to the given condition because Sajal and Rohith are not satisfying the condition of above 60% in chemistry.

60% of 130 = 78 for chemistry.

No one student get 60% marks in all subjects so answer should be none I read question many times and the question is asking 60% and above marks. If I am wrong then please prove it.

According to me answer should be none-D.

I think there is something mistake with that table, actually marks which are given are in percentage. Like 40 80 40/80*100 = 50%.

Dear All,

Reply given by @Sundar is clear.

We don't have to calculate anything here, actually question is intent to confuse us.

They have already given % of marks. So who have got more than 60% from the table for all subjects are the right choices.

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

So, no need to get percentage again, the answer is right, only check out the percentage marks obtained by a student who got 60 or more than 60 as mentioned in column.

These all columns give percentage marks obtain by each student in that sub. So because of that Sajal gets more than 60% marks in each subject and also in Computer max marks is 40 and student get 80 means he got 80%of 40 means he got 32 marks in that subject.
