The following figure shows the scores of students in three tests organised by a coaching institution. Whose average score is best?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. E.
Given that
The total marks of the tests for A = 84 + 71 + 95 = 250
The total marks of the tests for B = 93 + 76 + 101 = 270
The total marks of the tests for C = 99 + 79 + 71 = 249
The total marks of the tests for D = 80 + 90 + 94 = 264
The total marks of the tests for E = 88 + 93 + 90 = 271
Hence, the average of the marks for E is the maximum.
