The average marks of a student in 9 subjects is 85. Of these, the highest marks are 2 more than the one next in value. If these two subjects are eliminated, the average marks of the remaining subjects are 83. What are the highest marks obtained by him?
A) 94 B) 91 C) 89 D) 93

• Correct Answer is Option (A).
  the sum of the marks in 9 subjects = (85*9) = 765
  The sum of the marks in 7 will be = (83*7)= 581
  Difference = 765-581 = 184 => 92,92 ; 91,93 ; 90,94 ; 89,95 will be the options for the marks in the remaining 2 subjects. So the highest marks will be 94

• In 9 subject=85*9=765
  In 7 Subject=83*7=581
  difference=184
  now highest mark=x
  second highest=x-2
  x+x-2=184
  x=93
