210+225+120+195+170=920

What are the average marks in percentage obtained by Mohan?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 73.6%.

According to the question

The marks obtained by Mohan in Chemistry = 0.7 × 300 = 210

The marks obtained by Mohan in Mathematics = 0.75 × 300 = 225

The marks obtained by Mohan in Physics = 0.8 × 150 = 120

The marks obtained by Mohan in Hindi = 0.65 × 300 = 195

The marks obtained by Mohan in English = 0.85 × 200 = 170

So, the total marks obtained by Mohan = 210 + 225 + 120 + 195 + 170 = 920

Total maximum marks = 300 + 300 + 150 + 300 + 200 = 1250

Hence, the average marks in percentage obtained by Mohan = (920/1250) × 100 = 73.6%
