Can you explain this answer?

Question

Answer

To find the maximum marks of each subject, we need to first calculate the total marks obtained by Sushil in all the subjects.

Given that Sushil scored 85 percent marks in all the subjects together, we can calculate the total marks using the following formula:

Total Marks = (Marks Obtained / Percentage) * 100

Let's calculate the total marks obtained by Sushil in all the subjects:

Hindi: 103
Science: 111
Sanskrit: 98
Maths: 110
English: 88

Total Marks = (103 + 111 + 98 + 110 + 88) / (85/100) * 100
Total Marks = (510) / (0.85) * 100
Total Marks = 600

So, Sushil obtained a total of 600 marks in all the subjects.

Now, to find the maximum marks of each subject, we need to assume that the maximum marks for all subjects are equal. Let's assume this value as 'x'.

The total marks obtained by Sushil in all the subjects should be equal to the sum of maximum marks in each subject:

Total Marks = Maximum Marks * Number of Subjects

Substituting the values, we get:

600 = x * 5

Simplifying the equation, we have:

600 = 5x
x = 600 / 5
x = 120

Therefore, the maximum marks for each subject is 120.

Hence, the correct answer is option B) 120.
