Given:

The table shows the marks obtained by 100 students out of 50 in Mathematics and Physics in an examination.

Marks in Physics for eligibility to pursue higher studies: 60%.

Formula Used:

Marks required for 60% in Physics = Total marks × Percentage required

Calculation:

Marks required for 60% in Physics = 50 × 60%

⇒ Marks required for 60% in Physics = 50 × 0.6

⇒ Marks required for 60% in Physics = 30

From the table, the number of students scoring 30 or above in Physics = 21

The number of students eligible to pursue higher studies in Physics is 21.
