Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Concept: To identify the year with the maximum difference between two quantities in a table (here, the highest and average marks), compute the difference for each year separately and then compare all the computed differences to find the largest one.

Application: Using the Maths column from the table (High − Average) for each year:

  1. 2007: 94 − 60 = 34

  2. 2008: 85 − 62 = 23

  3. 2009: 92 − 68 = 24

  4. 2010: 91 − 64 = 27

Cross-check: Comparing the four differences — 34, 23, 24, and 27 — the largest value is 34, confirming that 2007 has the maximum difference between the highest and average Maths marks.
