If at least 60% marks in Physics are required for pursuing higher studies in Physics, how many students will be eligible to pursue higher studies in Physics?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 21.
Given that
If at least 60% marks in Physics are required for pursuing higher studies in Physics
According to the question
The maximum marks of Physics and Mathematics = 50
The required marks for pursuing higher studies in Physics = 0.6 × 50 = 30
Hence, the students will be eligible to pursue higher studies in Physics 30 or above = 21
