Download Solution PDFGiven:
Mathematics papers = 3
English papers = 2
Science papers = 1
Marks in Mathematics = 60%
Marks in English = 70%
Marks in Science = 50%
Formula used:
Total percentage = (Total marks obtained / Total maximum marks) × 100
Calculation:
Total marks in Mathematics = 3 × 60 = 180
Total marks in English = 2 × 70 = 140
Total marks in Science = 1 × 50 = 50
Total marks obtained = 180 + 140 + 50 = 370
Total maximum marks = (3 + 2 + 1) × 100 = 600
⇒ Total percentage = (370 / 600) × 100
⇒ Total percentage = 61.67%
∴ The correct answer is option 2.
