The following table shows the marks obtained by six students A-F in six different subjects S1 to S6 having 160, 160, 120, 120, 200 and 240 as maximum marks, respectively. Based on the data in the table, answer the questions that follow: Students-wise Details of Marks obtained Marks obtained in subject Student S1 (Out of 160) S2 (Out of 160) S3 (Out of 120) S4 (Out of 120) S5 (Out of 200) S6 (Out of 240) A 80 84 66 56 154 150 B 120 100 84 76 136 132 C 128 72 64 70 144 160 D 84 130 96 84 104 168 E 64 128 90 92 174 70 F 70 96 60 56 164 100
Calculate First Division Students
The question asks for the number of students who qualify for the first division. This requires scoring at least 65% of the total maximum marks.
Determine Total Maximum Marks
First, calculate the sum of maximum marks for all six subjects:
Total Maximum Marks = Max(S1) + Max(S2) + Max(S3) + Max(S4) + Max(S5) + Max(S6)
Total Maximum Marks = $160 + 160 + 120 + 120 + 200 + 240 = 1000$ marks.
Calculate Minimum Marks for First Division
A student needs a minimum of 65% of the total maximum marks.
Minimum Marks = $65\%$ of $1000$
Minimum Marks = $\frac{65}{100} \times 1000 = 650$ marks.
Calculate Aggregate Marks for Each Student
Sum the marks obtained by each student across all subjects:
| Student | S1 | S2 | S3 | S4 | S5 | S6 | Total Marks | First Division (>= 650) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | 80 | 84 | 66 | 56 | 154 | 150 | 590 | No |
| B | 120 | 100 | 84 | 76 | 136 | 132 | 648 | No |
| C | 128 | 72 | 64 | 70 | 144 | 160 | 638 | No |
| D | 84 | 130 | 96 | 84 | 104 | 168 | 666 | Yes |
| E | 64 | 128 | 90 | 92 | 174 | 70 | 618 | No |
| F | 70 | 96 | 60 | 56 | 164 | 100 | 546 | No |
Determine Number of Students with First Division
Compare each student's total marks with the minimum requirement of 650 marks.
- Student A: 590 marks (Less than 650)
- Student B: 648 marks (Less than 650)
- Student C: 638 marks (Less than 650)
- Student D: 666 marks (Greater than or equal to 650) - Qualifies
- Student E: 618 marks (Less than 650)
- Student F: 546 marks (Less than 650)
Only one student, Student D, scored 650 or more marks. Therefore, only 1 student gets the first division.
