1. A student scores 55% marks in 8 papers of 100 marks each. He scores 15% of his total marks in English. How much does he score in English?
- A. 44
- B. 44
- C. 44
- D. 44
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Calculate the total marks for all 8 papers, assuming each paper is out of 100 marks: Total Marks = 8 papers * 100 marks/paper = 800 marks
Calculate 55% of the total marks to find the student's overall score: Overall Score = 55% of Total Marks Overall Score = (55/100) * 800 = 0.55 * 800 = 440 marks
Calculate the marks scored in English, which is 15% of the total marks scored in all 8 papers: Marks in English = 15% of Overall Score Marks in English = (15/100) * 440 = 0.15 * 440 = 66 marks
So, the student scored 66 marks in English.
