Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
Weight ratio of Paper A : Paper B = 2 : 1
Riddhi's score in Paper B = 8 out of 10
Overall percentage = 70%
Calculation:
Weight ratio of Paper A : Paper B = 2 : 1
Maximum score in Paper B = 10
So, the maximum score in Paper A = 20
Overall obtained score = 70% of 30 = 70/100 × 30 = 21
Now,
Score in Paper A out of 20 = overall score - Score in Paper B = 21 - 8 = 13
So, the Score in Paper A out of 10 = 13/2 = 6.5
∴ The correct answer is option (2).
