Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Since the maximum marks for all 5 subjects are equal (each out of 100), the person with the maximum total score will also have the maximum overall percentage. Let's calculate the total sum of marks for the options provided and competitive candidates:
Simran: 78+65+89+78+66=376
Sanjana: 87+70+95+84+84=420
Bhumika: 74+84+88+87+79=412
Neha: 82+87+84+85+89=427
Jyoti: 69+90+93+88+92=432
Comparing the total scores:
432(Jyoti)>427(Neha)>420(Sanjana)>412(Bhumika)>376(Simran)
Hence, Jyoti scored the highest overall percentage.
Simran: 78+65+89+78+66=376
Sanjana: 87+70+95+84+84=420
Bhumika: 74+84+88+87+79=412
Neha: 82+87+84+85+89=427
Jyoti: 69+90+93+88+92=432
Comparing the total scores:
432(Jyoti)>427(Neha)>420(Sanjana)>412(Bhumika)>376(Simran)
Hence, Jyoti scored the highest overall percentage.
