b. Subject in which student is very good, Maths as he scored highest marks, i.e. 82.
c. Average marks = `"Sum of all marks obtained in various subjects"/"Total subjects"`
= `(64 + 75 + 82 + 71 + 49)/5`
= `341/5`
= 68.2%
d. In Hindi and Maths, student got 75 and 82 marks, respectively. Since, the marks equal to 75 or above denote a distinction. Hence, student got distinction in Hindi and Maths.

= `341/500 xx 100%`
= 68.2%
