Correct Answer: 80%


Solution : Average marks of 50 students = 70%
Total percentage of marks of 50 students = 50 × 70% = 3500%
Average of first 25 students = 60%
Total percentage of marks of 25 students = 25 × 60% = 1500%
Average marks of the next 24 students = 80%
Total percentage of marks of 24 students = 24 × 80% = 1920%
$\therefore$ Percentage of marks obtained by the last student = 3500% – (1500 + 1920)% = 80%
Hence, the correct answer is 80%.
