Question

After looking at my report card:
Science: $\frac{85}{100}$
Mathematics:$\frac{90}{100}$
Sanskrit: $\frac{96}{100}$
English: $\frac{80}{100}$
Social Science: $\frac{80}{100}$
My dad asked to find the total marks of the subject(s) in which I neither scored the highest nor the lowest. What would be the total marks required?

• A. 175
• B. 250
• C. 176
• D. 256

Answer 1

The correct option is A 175

To find the highest and the lowest marks in the report card we need to arrange all the obtained marks in an ascending order:
English/Social Science: 80/100, Science: 85/100, Mathematics: 90/100, Sanskrit: 96/100.

The above order shows that English/Social Science and Sanskrit are the lowest and the highest marks obtained.

Therefore the total will be (85+90)175 marks as the remaining subjects are science and mathematics in which I obtained 85 and 90 respectively.

My dad still has confidence in me...
