Correct Answer: 76%


Solution : Let the maximum mark of each paper be 100.
Mark obtained in paper A = 75% 0f 100 = 75
Mark obtained in paper B = 80% 0f 100 = 80
Mark obtained in paper C = 60% 0f 100 = 60
If the weightage assigned to Papers A, B, and C were 40%, 50%, and 10%, respectively.
Total mark = $\frac{75\times 40}{100} + \frac{80\times 50}{100}+\frac{60\times 10}{100}$
= $30 + 40 + 6$
= $76$
Percentage of mark = $\frac{76}{100}$ × 100% = 76%
Hence, the correct answer is 76%.
