Question

For the admission in a college, weight 40 is given to the marks in 12th class and weight 60 is given to the marks in entrance exam of each student. As per the merit list of the college, a student can get admission only if his weighted marks are 77 %. If a student scored 82 % in 12th class and 78 % in the entrance exam, can he get the admission to this college ?

Answer 1

Weight of marks in 12^th is 40% and student gets 82% is 12^th.

∴ Weightage of his 12^th marks in college admission is 82/100 x 40 = 328/10 = 32.8

Weight of marks in entrance exam is 60% and student get 78% in the entrance exam.

∴ Weightage of his entrance exam marks in college admission is 78/100 x 60 = 468/10 = 46.8

Weightage marks of student in college admission is 32.8+46.8 = 79.6% > 77%

Since, student's weightage marks is 79.6% which is greater than 77%.

∴ Student can get admission into the college.
