Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
First, calculate the total marks obtained by all students in Subject A using the maximum of 150.
Next, determine the total marks for Subject E using its maximum of 75.
Then, find the average marks for each subject by dividing totals by six students.
Finally, subtract the Subject E average from the Subject A average to get 52.
