Show Answer

Correct Answer: (2)

Solution: (2) Amit’s total marks

$=130+110+50=290$

Percentage of marks

$=\frac{290}{400} \times 100=72.5 \%$

Aarti’s total marks

$=90+80+60=230$ Percentage of marks

$=\frac{230}{400} \times 100=57.5 \%$

$\therefore$ Required average

$=\frac{72.5+57.5}{2}=\frac{130}{2}$

$=65 \%$
