Solutions:
1) Answer (B)
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.
2) Answer (A)
Passing percentage=663/1020*100=65%
Shreya percentage=612/1020*100=60%
Therefore she failed by 5%
3) Answer (C)
Total height of girls=21*148=3108
After teacher’s height is included, No. Of persons =22

Teacher’s height = 3278-3108 = 170cms.
Option C is the right answer.
