Correct Answer :

Option B

Tarun

Tarun

Solution :

The correct option is Tarun.

To find out who obtained 79% marks in all subjects taken together, let us analyze the marks obtained by each student across all five subjects: Maths, Physics, Chemistry, English, and Physical Education. Each subject is out of 100 marks, which means the total maximum marks for 5 subjects is:
5×100=500

If a student obtained 79% marks in total, their total marks must be:
79% of 500=79100×500=79×5=395

Let us calculate the sum of marks for each student listed in the options to see whose total sum equals 395:

1. Tarun:
Total Marks=65+80+75+85+90
Let's add these values step-by-step:
65+80=145
145+75=220
220+85=305
305+90=395
Since Tarun's total marks are exactly 395, his percentage is indeed:
395500×100=79%

Let's also verify the total marks for the other students to be absolutely sure:

2. Rohit:
Total Marks=69+76+80+88+94=407
Percentage = 81.4%

3. Mohit:
Total Marks=76+84+77+90+95=422
Percentage = 84.4%

4. Sumit:
Total Marks=90+88+78+82+68=406
Percentage = 81.2%

Therefore, Tarun is the student who obtained exactly 79% marks when all subjects are taken together.
