It clearly states at least 60%. So the answer should be 41.

If we look carefully at the word structure given to us, it clearly states that ‘ at least’ 60% of the score must be obtained to pursue a higher grade in Physics.
In the case that the question stated accumulative data, then the correct answer would have been 32.
However, the word choice and framing of the question remain vague.
Thus, the answer can be both 41 and 32.

Answer is correct, because they said at least 60%; if we consider 40 mark column then they have 80%;and if that of 30 column is 60% (at least) ;Hence correct.

If we can assume 50 as 100% so our 1st step is 1st calculate the percentage of 50 how much see below it.
50 100
60% ?
We got 30 Answer then see our table we can find 32 come under 30's and above category this is our final answer.
50 100
60% ?
We got 30 Answer then see our table we can find 32 come under 30's and above category this is our final answer.

I think even the person who scored 40 above are to be taken into consideration as the question has not mentioned that even 40+ students are included in 30+ students.

Question is asked that at-least 60% is needed for pursuing higher studies. So only least percentage i.e. 30% should be considered.
