Correct Answer: 0.77


Solution : Given:
Total number of Subjects→5
Maximum marks in each subject→100
% scored by Ravi in 4 subjects = 80%
Marks scored by Ravi in the 5th subject = 65

From the given information –
Maximum marks in all 5 subjects = 100 × 5 = 500
% scored by Ravi in 4 subjects = 80%
Total marks scored by Ravi in 4 subjects = 80/100 × (100 × 4)
= 80/100 x 400
= 320
Therefore, the total marks scored by Ravi in all 5 subjects = 320 + 65 = 385
⇒ Total % scored by Ravi = (385/500 × 100) % = 77% = 0.77

Hence, the third option is correct.
