In which of the following subjects is the overall percentage the highest?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Overall percentage for chemistry = 90 + 75 + 65 + 85 + 95 + 90 = 500
Overall percentage for Geography = 80 + 85 + 95 + 95 + 95 + 90 = 540
Overall percentage for History = 70 + 85 + 90 + 90 + 90 + 90 = 515
Overall percentage for CS = 95 + 90 + 80 + 85 + 80 + 90 = 520
So , Maximum overall percentage is of Geography.
