Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFCalculation:
Hitansh's marks in Science = 70% of 150 = 105
Total marks scored by Hitansh = 67 + 105 + 64 + 55 + 75 = 366
Total maximum marks in all subjects = 550
⇒ Percentage marks scored = (366/550) × 100 = 66.55%
∴ Hitansh's overall percentage in the examination is 66.55%
Mistake Points
In the table, the marks given are the percentage marks obtained by each student.
Except for Science, each subject carries maximum marks = 100
Thus, marks obtained and percentage marks are equal
e.g. Hitansh scored 67% marks in English
⇒ Marks scored by Hitansh in English = 100 × (67/100) = 67
For Science subject, the maximum marks are 150
Hitansh scored 70% marks in Science
⇒ Marks scored by Hitansh in Science = 150 × (70/100)
⇒ Marks scored by Hitansh in Science = 105
