Refer to the below data table and answer the following question.
Subjects Marks scored
English 70
Hindi 55

Five points are to be deducted from this student's average of marks scored because of poor attendance. What will be this student's net average marks scored?

First, let's find the total marks scored by the student across all 5 subjects:
Total Marks=70+55+70+55+55=305
Now, calculate the initial average marks across the 5 subjects:

Initial Average=
Number of Subjects
Total Marks
​
=

=61
According to the question, 5 points are deducted from the average because of poor attendance:

Net Average Marks=61−5=56
