Question

Given below are the marks obtained by 10 students. For getting promoted to section A, a student has to score more than the average marks. Which student will not be promoted to Section A?​

$\begin{array}{cccc}\text{Name}& \text{Marks}& \text{Name}& \text{Marks}\\ \text{Pavani}& 79& \text{Ajit}& 77\\ \text{Goutham}& 81& \text{Kushagra}& 73\\ \text{Deepthi}& 68& \text{Manish}& 94\\ \text{Pavan}& 85& \text{Satyam}& 81\\ \text{Akash}& 62& \text{Sarosh}& 80\end{array}$

• A. Pavani
• B. Sarosh
• C. Deepthi
• D. Goutham

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Deepthi

Average marks=$\frac{79+81+68+85+62+77+73+94+81+80}{10}$=$\frac{780}{10}$=78.

Students who have scored less than 78 marks, will not be promoted to section A.

So, from the given options, only Deepthi has scored less than 78 and will not be promoted to section A.
