Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
To find the overall percentage, calculate the mean marks for each subject across all 7 students. English: (80 + 90 + 80 + 70 + 70 + 60 + 60) / 7 = 510 / 7 ≈ 72.85% Philosophy: (60 + 40 + 70 + 80 + 75 + 80 + 70) / 7 = 475 / 7 ≈ 67.85% IT: (80 + 70 + 70 + 60 + 80 + 60 + 70) / 7 = 490 / 7 = 70% Thus, the overall percentages are approximately 72.85%, 67.85%, and 70% respectively.
