The following table shows marks obtained out of 100 by Maria and Shehnaz in five subjects :
| Maria | Shehnaz | |
|---|---|---|
| English | 74 | 81 |
| Maths | 88 | 78 |
| Social Science | 65 | 77 |
| Hindi | 73 | 72 |
| Science | 90 | 82 |
Based on the table above identify the correct statement from among the following :
Answer: D
The correct statement is that the aggregate marks of Maria and Shehnaz are equal.
\[ \begin{aligned} \text{Maria} &= 74 + 88 + 65 + 73 + 90 = 390 \\ \text{Shehnaz} &= 81 + 78 + 77 + 72 + 82 = 390 \end{aligned} \]
The other statements do not match the table. Maria scores more than Shehnaz in Maths, Science and Hindi, three subjects, so 'only two subjects' is wrong. She scores less in Social Science, which is not a language, so 'all subjects except the languages' is wrong, and she scores more in Hindi, which is one. In Maths and Science together Maria has 88 + 90 = 178 against Shehnaz's 78 + 82 = 160, so Shehnaz's aggregate there is not more.
