Question

In a University examination, six students, Sachin, Ashish, Tanwi, Ankit, Ramesh and Suresh had written the following three papers, Economics, Finance and Accounts. The examination comprised of two parts, internals and externals. The table below shows the performance of each of these six students in this examination.

Part A: Indicates the total marks scored by the student in that paper as a percentage of the total marks of all the six students put together in that subject.

Part B: Indicates the marks scored by that student in internals as a percentage of total marks scored by that student in that subject.

From the table below it can be inferred that Sachin had obtained 30% of marks in Economics out of the total marks obtained by all the six students in Economics put together. Whereas out of the marks scored by him in Economics, the marks scored by him in Internals accounted for 20% of marks.

If Suresh had scored 20 marks in Accounts and 45 marks in Finance, then the marks scored by all six students in internals of these 2 subjects would be __________. (All marks, at all stages of evaluation, have to be integers. So, round off any decimal to the next higher number)

The correct option is A 63
Finance(150) Accounts(400) StudentTotal Internal Total Internal PercentageMarksPercentageMarksPercentageMarksPercentageMarksSachin2537.5104251001010Ashish101500208054Tanwi1015102104000Ankit57.51011040104Ramesh2030103301202530Suresh304553520102
Suresh scoring 20 marks in Accounts implies that the total marks scored by all six students put together would be 400 as his marks constituted 5% of the total marks.

Similarly, the total marks scored by all six students put together in Finance would be 150 as his marks constituted 30% of the total marks.
The results can be tabulated as shown above.
The total marks scored by all six students in the internals of Finance are 13 and that in
Accounts is 50.
The required total is 63.
