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
Solution: Calculating Overall Marks Percentage for Students
To find the overall percentage of marks scored by students A and B in all subjects, we first need to calculate the total marks obtained by each student and the total maximum marks across all subjects. The maximum marks for subjects S1 to S6 are 160, 160, 120, 120, 200, and 240, respectively.
Total Maximum Marks Calculation
The total maximum marks for all six subjects is the sum of the maximum marks for each subject:
Total Max Marks = $160 + 160 + 120 + 120 + 200 + 240 = 1000$ marks.
Student A: Marks and Percentage
Student A's marks in the six subjects are 80, 84, 66, 56, 154, and 150.
Total Marks obtained by Student A = $80 + 84 + 66 + 56 + 154 + 150 = 590$ marks.
Overall Percentage for Student A = $ \frac{\text{Total Marks Obtained by A}}{\text{Total Maximum Marks}} \times 100 $
Percentage A = $ \frac{590}{1000} \times 100 = 0.59 \times 100 = 59\% $
Student B: Marks and Percentage
Student B's marks in the six subjects are 120, 100, 84, 76, 136, and 132.
Total Marks obtained by Student B = $120 + 100 + 84 + 76 + 136 + 132 = 648$ marks.
Overall Percentage for Student B = $ \frac{\text{Total Marks Obtained by B}}{\text{Total Maximum Marks}} \times 100 $
Percentage B = $ \frac{648}{1000} \times 100 = 0.648 \times 100 = 64.8\% $
Conclusion
The overall respective percentages of marks scored by student A and student B are 59% and 64.8%.
