Solution
A boy gets in Hindi = 60 out of 80
∴ Percentage marks = `60/80xx100` = 75%
He gets in English 75 out of 100 = 75%
and he gets in Arithmetic, 65 out of 70
= `65/70xx100=650/7%=92 6/7%`
We see that he gets best marks in Arithmetic
Now total marks he gets = 60 + 75 + 65 = 200
Total marks = 80 + 100 + 70 = 250
Percent marks obtained = `200/250xx100` = 80%
