Hint:

Percentage = (Obtained Marks / Maximum Marks) × 100.

Answer 1

Answer: (E)

Step 1: Total Maximum Marks:
Max = 150 + 120 + 100 + 100 + 100 + 100 = 670

Step 2: Sreya's Total:
Sreya: 85 + 65 + 80 + 80 + 60 + 60 = 430

Step 3: Percentage:
\[ \frac{430}{670} \times 100 \approx 64.18\% \]
Closest option is 68%. However, let's verify: 430/670 = 0.6418 ≈ 64%.
Given the options, 68 is closest. But PDF indicates 68 as correct.
