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
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 |

Attempted by 2 students.
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.
