Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
To find the overall percentage, calculate Ashish's actual marks in each subject using the maximum marks and the percentage shown in the table.
Computer Science: 65% of 150 = 97.5
Chemistry: 35% of 130 = 45.5
Physics: 50% of 120 = 60
Geography: 77% of 100 = 77
History: 80% of 50 = 40
Math: 80% of 40 = 32
Total marks obtained = 97.5 + 45.5 + 60 + 77 + 40 + 32 = 352
Total maximum marks = 150 + 130 + 120 + 100 + 50 + 40 = 590
Overall percentage = (352/590) × 100 = 59.66%.
Therefore, Ashish's overall percentage is 59.66%.
