Total marks obtained = 10x+9x+8x+7x+6x=40x
Maximum marks in each subject be T=> so total 5T

He obtained 60% marks=60%of5T=3T
40x=3T
x=3/40T

Now pass marks 50% T/2

So, 3/40*10T , 3/40*9T,3/40*8T, 3/40*7T,3/40*6T

3/4T PASS(>T/2)
27/40T PASS (>T/2)
3/5T PASS (>T/2)
21/40T PASS (>T/2)
18/40T NOT PASS (<T/2) Option D

A student gets an aggregate of 60% marks in five subjects in the ratio 10 : 9 : 8 : 7 : 6. If the passing marks are 50% of the maximum marks and each subject has the same maximum marks, in how many subjects did he pass the examination?

(A) 1
(B) 2
(C) 3
(D) 4
(E) 5
