Understanding the Student Marks Table

The question asks us to analyze a table showing the percentage marks obtained by 7 students in 7 different subjects. We need to find out how many students scored the highest percentage of marks in more than one subject.

Let's first look at the provided table:

Subject & Students ↓ Hindi English Maths Physics Chemistry Biology IT
Amit 67 88 92 88 58 60 98
Ruchi 65 78 68 70 64 72 76
Kanchan 89 66 76 76 72 68 76
Prashant 88 80 72 68 62 64 72
Mrinal 78 64 76 74 68 80 78
Kunal 60 86 88 74 94 76 84
Diksha 74 92 96 66 86 88 96

Identifying Highest Scores in Each Subject

To answer the question, we need to determine the highest percentage score achieved in each subject and identify which student(s) achieved that score.

  • Hindi: The highest score is 89, achieved by Kanchan.
  • English: The highest score is 92, achieved by Diksha.
  • Maths: The highest score is 96, achieved by Diksha.
  • Physics: The highest score is 88, achieved by Amit.
  • Chemistry: The highest score is 94, achieved by Kunal.
  • Biology: The highest score is 88, achieved by Diksha.
  • IT: The highest score is 98, achieved by Amit.

Counting Highest Scores Per Student

Now, let's list which students achieved the highest score in which subjects and count how many subjects they achieved the highest score in:

  • Amit: Highest in Physics (88) and IT (98). Total = 2 subjects.
  • Ruchi: Did not score the highest in any subject. Total = 0 subjects.
  • Kanchan: Highest in Hindi (89). Total = 1 subject.
  • Prashant: Did not score the highest in any subject. Total = 0 subjects.
  • Mrinal: Did not score the highest in any subject. Total = 0 subjects.
  • Kunal: Highest in Chemistry (94). Total = 1 subject.
  • Diksha: Highest in English (92), Maths (96), and Biology (88). Total = 3 subjects.

Determining Students with Multiple Highest Scores

We are looking for students who scored the highest percentage of marks in more than one subject. From our count above:

  • Amit scored highest in 2 subjects (which is more than one).
  • Diksha scored highest in 3 subjects (which is more than one).

The other students scored highest in 0 or 1 subject, which is not more than one subject.

Therefore, there are two students (Amit and Diksha) who scored the highest percentage of marks in more than one subject.

Final Answer Derivation

Based on the analysis of the student marks table and identifying the students who achieved the highest score in multiple subjects, we found that two students meet this criterion.

Thus, the number of students who have scored the highest percentage of marks in more than one subject is two.

Revision Table: Key Findings

Student Subjects with Highest Score Number of Subjects with Highest Score Scored Highest in > 1 Subject?
Amit Physics, IT 2 Yes
Ruchi None 0 No
Kanchan Hindi 1 No
Prashant None 0 No
Mrinal None 0 No
Kunal Chemistry 1 No
Diksha English, Maths, Biology 3 Yes

Additional Information: Analyzing Data Tables

Analyzing data presented in tables, like the student marks table here, is a common skill tested in many exams. It involves reading the table accurately, identifying key data points (like highest or lowest values), and performing calculations or comparisons based on the question asked. This type of data interpretation helps in drawing conclusions from raw data.

When analyzing tables for highest/lowest values:

  • Read the row and column headers carefully to understand what the data represents.
  • Scan down a column to find the highest or lowest value for a specific category (e.g., subject).
  • Scan across a row to see a specific entity's (e.g., student's) performance across different categories.
  • Pay attention to the exact wording of the question (e.g., "more than one subject").

Practice with different types of tables helps improve data interpretation skills.
