Question 184

Sushil got 103 marks in Hindi, 111 marks in Science, 98 marks in Sanskrit. 110 marks in Maths and 88 marks in English. If the maximum marks of each subject are equal and if Sushil scored 85 percent marks in all the subjects together, what is the maximum mark of each subject ?

Solution

Total marks scored by sushil=103+111+98+110+88=510
Let total max. Marks be x.

Now, it is given that, 85% of x=total marks scored by sushil
I.e, 0.85*x=510
Therefore, x=510*100/85
x=600

This is for 5 subjects altogether.
Therefore, max. Marks for one subject = 600/5 =120 marks.
Option B is the right answer.
