Hello,

The highest five marks for the CBSE calculation would be according to your friend's marks as below:

Social Science (SS): 100

Hindi: 100

Artificial Intelligence (AI): 98

English: 99

General Science (GS): 96

The sum of these five subjects is 493/500. It is now assumed that your friend has really been doing well and that their score of 85 in math would not compromise the 5-subject rule since, only the top five subjects are counted.

Whether they would be toppers or not would depend upon how their total score could compare with others in their school or region. Generally, above 490 is very good, and maybe they could be a topper, but again this depends on other lads also. Nonetheless, your friend has been excellent and deserves to feel proud of his achievements!
