- A47
- B52
- C57
- D62
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
First, find the total marks scored by the student in all 5 subjects:
Total Marks=70+75+30+75+60=310
Now, find the initial average marks:
Average Marks=
Number of subjects
Total Marks
=
5
310
=62
Since 5 points are deducted from the average due to poor attendance:
Net Average Marks=62−5=57
Total Marks=70+75+30+75+60=310
Now, find the initial average marks:
Average Marks=
Number of subjects
Total Marks
=
5
310
=62
Since 5 points are deducted from the average due to poor attendance:
Net Average Marks=62−5=57
