The correct answer is

84

To determine the marks obtained by the student in General English, we can use the information provided about the student's overall percentage and marks obtained in other subjects. The process involves calculating the total marks and then isolating the mark for General English.

The total marks the student can obtain are as follows:

SubjectMaximum Marks
Physics200
Chemistry100
Mathematics200
Computer Science200
General English100
Total800

The student obtains an overall 78% of the total marks. Therefore, the calculation for total marks obtained is:

\(0.78 \times 800 = 624\)

Now, we sum up the marks obtained in other subjects:

  • Physics: 155
  • Chemistry: 80
  • Mathematics: 165
  • Computer Science: 140

Total marks obtained in other subjects:

\(155 + 80 + 165 + 140 = 540\)

To find the marks obtained in General English (X), we calculate as follows:

\(X = 624 - 540 = 84\)

Therefore, the marks obtained by the student in General English are 84.

Thus, the correct answer is 84.
