Correct Answer: 52.1


Solution : Number of Mathematics papers = 3
Average marks of D in Mathematics = 45
⇒ Total marks in Maths = 45 × 3 = 135
Number of English papers = 2
Average marks of D in English = 55
⇒ Total marks in English = 110
Number of Hindi papers = 2
Average marks of D in Hindi = 60
⇒ Total marks in Hindi = 120
Total marks secured by D = 135 + 110 + 120 = 365
Total number of papers = 7
Average marks = $\frac{365}{7}$ = 52.1
Hence, the correct answer is 52.1.
