Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
For each subject, the maximum marks are the same for all seven students. Therefore, the overall percentage for a subject can be compared by adding the seven percentages in that subject.
Computer Science = 90 + 100 + 90 + 80 + 80 + 70 + 65 = 575
Chemistry = 50 + 80 + 60 + 65 + 65 + 75 + 35 = 430
Physics = 90 + 80 + 70 + 80 + 85 + 65 + 50 = 520
Geography = 60 + 40 + 70 + 80 + 95 + 85 + 77 = 507
History = 70 + 80 + 90 + 60 + 50 + 40 + 80 = 470
Math = 80 + 70 + 70 + 60 + 90 + 60 + 80 = 510
The highest total is 575 for Computer Science. Hence, Computer Science has the best overall percentage.
