Question : 9 of 40

Marks: +1, -0

A student got 60% average marks in five compulsory subjects. He got equal marks in each of the two optional subjects and if the marks of these two subjects are added to the marks of the compulsory subjects, the average of marks is reduced by 4%.

Validate

Solution:

Average marks in five subjects = 60%
Total marks = 60 × 5 = 300
Let marks obtained in the optional subject = x
According to the statements,

{300+2x}/7=60-4

300+2x=56×7

300+2x=392

x=46%
