Download Solution PDFCalculation:
If a student secures 80% or more in a subject, the student is considered to have received a distinction in the subject.
In Geography Tanvi gets 85 /100 which is 85% .
∴ The correct option is 3
Mistake Points The question is, "The following table gives the percentage of marks obtained by seven students in six different subjects in an examination."
So,
The percentage marks are given, not the absolute marks.
For example,
In computer science, Ayush's mark given in the table is 80. It means Ayush got 80% in computer science.
Ayush's marks in computer science = 80% of 40 = 32 marks out of 40
Now, the question asked, who among the students below received a distinction in exactly one of the six subjects?
So the question is, who among them received 80% or more marks in only one subject?
Tanvi received 80% or more marks only in Geography. So Tanvi is the right answer.
