- D. 73 Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, CAT, GATE, GRE, Analyst, Bank Clerk, Bank PO
Correct Answer: 79
Explanation:
Assuming Sripad has scored the least marks in subject other than science,
Then the marks he could secure in other two are 58 each.
Since the average mark of all the 3 subject is 65.
i.e (58+58+x)/3 = 65
116 + x = 195
x = 79 marks.
Therefore, the maximum marks he can score in maths is 79.
