Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
First, calculate the total marks obtained by students B and C in subject S1. Student B scored 120 and Student C scored 128, giving a combined total of 248.
Next, calculate the total marks obtained by students A, D, and E in subject S1. Student A scored 80, Student D scored 84, and Student E scored 64, giving a combined total of 228.
To find the percentage increase, subtract the second total from the first (248 - 228 = 20). Divide this difference by the reference total (228) and multiply by 100 to get approximately 8.77%.
