Solving for Anuj's Total Marks in Subjects

The problem requires us to calculate the total marks obtained by a specific student, Anuj, based on the percentage of marks provided in a table across five different subjects. We are given the maximum marks for each subject. To find the total marks, we first need to calculate the actual marks obtained by Anuj in each subject and then sum them up.

Understanding the Data Table

The table shows the percentage of marks secured by six students in five subjects: A, B, C, D, and E. The maximum marks for each subject are also provided:

• Subject A: Out of 75
• Subject B: Out of 80
• Subject C: Out of 100
• Subject D: Out of 50
• Subject E: Out of 150

We need to focus on the row corresponding to Anuj and the percentages listed for subjects A, B, C, D, and E.

Calculating Anuj's Marks per Subject

Anuj's percentages in the five subjects are:

• Subject A: 80%
• Subject B: 55%
• Subject C: 68%
• Subject D: 66%
• Subject E: 84%

To find the actual marks, we use the formula:

\(\text{Actual Marks} = \frac{\text{Percentage}}{100} \times \text{Maximum Marks}\)

Let's calculate Anuj's marks for each subject:

• Subject A: Anuj scored 80% out of 75 marks.
  Actual Marks (A) = \(\frac{80}{100} \times 75 = 0.80 \times 75 = 60\)
• Subject B: Anuj scored 55% out of 80 marks.
  Actual Marks (B) = \(\frac{55}{100} \times 80 = 0.55 \times 80 = 44\)
• Subject C: Anuj scored 68% out of 100 marks.
  Actual Marks (C) = \(\frac{68}{100} \times 100 = 0.68 \times 100 = 68\)
• Subject D: Anuj scored 66% out of 50 marks.
  Actual Marks (D) = \(\frac{66}{100} \times 50 = 0.66 \times 50 = 33\)
• Subject E: Anuj scored 84% out of 150 marks.
  Actual Marks (E) = \(\frac{84}{100} \times 150 = 0.84 \times 150 = 126\)

Calculating Anuj's Total Marks

Now, we sum the actual marks obtained by Anuj in all five subjects:

Total Marks = Marks (A) + Marks (B) + Marks (C) + Marks (D) + Marks (E)

Total Marks = \(60 + 44 + 68 + 33 + 126\)

Total Marks = \(104 + 68 + 33 + 126\)

Total Marks = \(172 + 33 + 126\)

Total Marks = \(205 + 126\)

Total Marks = \(331\)

The total marks obtained by Anuj in all five subjects are 331.

Additional Information: Data Interpretation Basics

Data interpretation questions often involve extracting information from tables, charts, or graphs and performing calculations based on that data. Key steps usually include:

• Carefully reading the question to understand what is being asked.
• Identifying the relevant data within the provided table or chart.
• Understanding the units or metrics used (e.g., percentage, absolute values, maximum limits).
• Performing necessary calculations, such as finding percentages, averages, totals, ratios, or differences.
• Ensuring calculations are accurate and checking the result against the options if available.

In this problem, the core task was converting percentages to actual values using the respective maximum marks and then summing these values to find the total.
