    Average marks scored by Vineet in five subjects are 65.

    The average marks scored by him (excluding his highest and lowest marks) are 50 and lowest marks scored by him are 40. Find the highest marks scored by him.
    A 155 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 135 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 110 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 130 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Sum of marks scored by him in five subjects = 5 x 65 = 325 Sum of marks scored by him (excluding his highest and lowest marks) = 3 x 50 = 150 Therefore, sum of highest and lowest marks = 325 – 150 = 175 So, highest marks scored by him = 175 – 40 = 135
