Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

First, calculate the total maximum marks across all six subjects: 160 + 160 + 120 + 120 + 200 + 240 = 1000.

To achieve first division, a student needs 65% of the total marks: 0.65 * 1000 = 650.

Next, calculate the aggregate marks for each student:

Student A: 80 + 84 + 66 + 56 + 154 + 150 = 590

Student B: 120 + 100 + 84 + 76 + 136 + 132 = 648

Student C: 128 + 72 + 64 + 70 + 144 + 160 = 638

Student D: 84 + 130 + 96 + 84 + 104 + 168 = 666

Student E: 64 + 128 + 90 + 92 + 174 + 70 = 618

Student F: 70 + 96 + 60 + 56 + 164 + 100 = 546

Only Student D scored 666, which is greater than or equal to the required 650 marks.

Therefore, exactly one student gets first division.
