The following table shows marks obtained out of 100 by Maria and Shehnaz in five subjects :

Subject	Maria	Shehnaz
English	74	81
Maths	88	78
Social Science	65	77
Hindi	73	72
Science	90	82

Based on the table above identify the correct statement from among the following :

To identify the correct statement, let us analyze the data given in the table for Maria and Shehnaz across all five subjects.

Step 1: Calculate the total (aggregate) marks obtained by Maria:

$\text{Maria's Total}=74+88+65+73+90$

$\text{Maria's Total}=390$

Step 2: Calculate the total (aggregate) marks obtained by Shehnaz:

$\text{Shehnaz's Total}=81+78+77+72+82$

$\text{Shehnaz's Total}=390$

Step 3: Evaluate the options based on the data:

1. Maria has scored more marks than Shehnaz in all the subjects except the languages: In Maths (88 vs 78) and Science (90 vs 82), Maria scored more. In Social Science (65 vs 77), which is not a language, Shehnaz scored more. Thus, this statement is false.
2. Maria has scored more marks than Shehnaz in only two subjects: Maria scored higher in Maths (88 > 78), Hindi (73 > 72), and Science (90 > 82). That makes 3 subjects, so this statement is false.
3. Shehnaz’s aggregate marks in Maths and Science are more than Maria’s aggregate marks in these subjects:
- Shehnaz in Maths + Science = 78 + 82 = 160
- Maria in Maths + Science = 88 + 90 = 178
Maria scored more, so this statement is false.
4. The aggregate marks of Maria and Shehnaz are equal: Both Maria and Shehnaz scored a total aggregate of 390 marks out of 500. Therefore, this statement is true.

Hence, the correct statement is: The aggregate marks of Maria and Shehnaz are equal.
