Correct Answer: 7


Solution : Score in physics = 8
Score in Chemistry = 8
Score in Biology = 6
Score in Interview = 6.5
The weightage assigned to Sonali in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Interview = 2, 3, 3, 4
Weighted average
= $\frac{(2 \times 8 + 3 \times 8 + 3 \times 6 + 4 \times 6.5)}{(2 + 3 + 3 + 4)}$
= $\frac{(16 + 24 + 18 + 26)}{(12)}$
= $\frac{84}{12}$
= 7
Hence, the correct answer is 7.
