The following table shows the marks scored 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 | 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 | 76 | 84 | 66 | 56 | 154 | 144 |
B | 120 | 100 | 84 | 76 | 136 | 132 |
C | 128 | 72 | 64 | 70 | 144 | 160 |
D | 84 | 130 | 96 | 84 | 104 | 168 |
E | 64 | 128 | 90 | 92 | 174 | 70 |
F | 70 | 96 | 60 | 56 | 164 | 96 |
If for getting first division, a student needs to score a minimum 60% marks in aggregate, then the number of students getting first division is:
- A.
5
- B.
3
- C.
2
- D.
4
Attempted by 14 students.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
First, calculate the total maximum marks across all subjects: 160 + 160 + 120 + 120 + 200 + 240 = 1000. The requirement for first division is a minimum of 60% aggregate, which equals 600 marks.
Next, sum the marks for each student: A = 580, B = 648, C = 638, D = 666, E = 618, F = 542. Only students B, C, D, and E scored 600 or more.
Thus, exactly 4 students achieved first division status.
