Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. $91\frac{1}{6}$ %.

According to the given question,

Marks obtained in maths = 100% of 150 = 150

Marks obtained in Chemistry = 80% of 130 = 104

Marks obtained in Physics = 90% of 120 = 108

Marks obtained in Geography = 95% of 100 = 95

Marks obtained in History = 90% of 60 = 54

Marks obtained in Computer science = 90% of 40 = 36

Total marks obtained = 150 + 104 + 108 + 95 + 54 + 36 = 547

Total maximum marks = 150 + 130 + 120 + 100 + 60 + 40 = 600

Required percentage = ${547 \over 600} \times 100$ = $91\frac{1}{6}$ %
