Question

The following table lists the marks of seven students(rows) of a class across six subjects(columns). The Numbers in the Parenthesis indicate the maximum marks of the subject concerned. Use the data in the table to answer the question that follows:
 

	English(150)	Hindi(120)	History(100)	Physics(100)	Maths(100)	Chemistry (100)
Maya	90	50	90	60	70	80
Arya	100	80	88	60	80	70
Riya	90	72	70	72	91	70
Sreya	85	65	80	80	60	60
Roopesh	80	55	85	95	50	90
Chandesh	70	75	65	85	40	61
Hanish	65	35	50	77	80	80

• A. Maya
• B. Arya
• C. Riya
• D. Roopesh

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To solve this problem, we need to compare the total marks obtained by each student and identify the student with the highest total marks. The subjects and their maximum marks are as follows:

• English: 150 marks
• Hindi: 120 marks
• History: 100 marks
• Physics: 100 marks
• Maths: 100 marks
• Chemistry: 100 marks

Let's calculate the total marks for each student by adding their scores across all subjects:

1. Maya: 90 + 50 + 90 + 60 + 70 + 80 = 440
2. Arya: 100 + 80 + 88 + 60 + 80 + 70 = 478
3. Riya: 90 + 72 + 70 + 72 + 91 + 70 = 465
4. Sreya: 85 + 65 + 80 + 80 + 60 + 60 = 430
5. Roopesh: 80 + 55 + 85 + 95 + 50 + 90 = 455
6. Chandesh: 70 + 75 + 65 + 85 + 40 + 61 = 396
7. Hanish: 65 + 35 + 50 + 77 + 80 + 80 = 387

Upon reviewing the calculations above, Arya has the highest total marks with a score of 478.

Thus, the student with the highest marks overall is Arya.
