Correct Answer: 1


Solution : If Vikas scored $3x, 5x, 6x$ marks out of $7y, 11y, 10y$ respectively.
Then, according to the question,
⇒ $3x+5x+6x = 0.5 × (7y+11y+10y)$
⇒ $14x=0.5×28y$
⇒ $x = y$
⇒ Percentage of Marks in first exam = $\frac{3x​}{7y}$ × 100 = $\frac{3x​}{7x}$ × 100 = 42.86%
⇒ Percentage of Marks in second exam = $\frac{5x​}{11y}$ × 100 = $\frac{5x​}{11x}$ × 100 = 45.45%
⇒ Percentage of Marks in third exam = $\frac{6x​}{10y}$ × 100 = $\frac{6x​}{10x}$ × 100 = 60%
So, he scored more than 50% marks in one subject only.
Hence, the correct answer is 1.
