The marks scored by a student in three subjects are in the ratio of 4: 5: 6. If the candidate scored
an overall aggregate of 60% of the sum of the maximum marks and the maximum mark in all
three subjects is the same, in how many subjects did he score more than 60%?
(A) 1
(B) 2
(C) 3
(D) None of the subjects

• Answer: Option1
  Solution: Let maximum marks be 100.
  Marks scored by a student in 3 subjects be 4x,5x and 6x.
  15x=0.60(300)
  x=12.
  So the marks in 3 subjects are 48,60,72
