Correct Answer: 56


Solution : The average marks = $\frac{\text{sum of the marks in all subjects}}{\text{Number of subjects}}$
⇒ Student's total average marks is given as $\frac{70+55+70+55+55}{5}=\frac{305}{5}$ = 61
According to the question,
Five points are to be deducted from this student's average marks scored because of poor attendance.
⇒ The student's net average mark scored is 61 – 5 = 56
Hence, the correct answer is 56.
