Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Since the maximum marks for each subject are , scoring marks means scoring exactly marks.
Let's look at the columns of each subject to find where any student has scored marks:
1. English: Highest score is (No student scored ).
2. Math: Students A and C scored marks. (Subject counted: 1)
3. Physics: Highest score is (No student scored ).
4. Chemistry: Student A scored marks. (Subject counted: 2)
5. Information Technology: Students A and C scored marks. (Subject counted: 3)
The question asks for the number of distinct subjects in which the students have scored marks. Those subjects are Math, Chemistry, and Information Technology.
Thus, there are subjects in total.
