Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
First, find the number of Hindi students scoring between 70 and 80 marks by subtracting those with 80+ (108) from those with 70+ (264), which equals 156.
Next, calculate the total number of students scoring 80 or above using the percentage (15% of 1200 = 180).
Subtract the Hindi count from this total to find the Punjabi students scoring 80+ (180 - 108 = 72).
Finally, sum the two values: 156 + 72 = 228.
