Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : 85

Given:
Marks out of 100 in English = 85
Marks out of 100 in Hindi = 75
Marks out of 100 in Mathematics = 92
Marks out of 100 in Science = 88
Marks out of 100 in Social Science = 85

Concept used:
Average = (Total scored marks)/(Number of subjects)

Calculation:
Number of subjects = 5
Total marks scored by Ram in 5 subjects = 85 + 75 + 92 + 88 + 85 = 425
Average marks of Ram in 5 subjects = 425/5 = 85
∴ The average marks scored by Ram in the 5 subjects is 85.
