Average = Sum of all marks in tests/ number of tests

Hence for 4 tests, the sum of marks = 4*80 = 320
let the marks on 5th test = x

then (x+320)/5 = 82
x+320 = 410
x = 410-320 = 90

Answer = C

A. 80

E. 84

total score of 4 tests = 4*80 ; 320
and total score of 5 tests avg required; 82*5 ; 410
so student must score ; 410-320 ; 90
IMO C
