CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

Explanation

  1. Marks in the four subjects = 4×70=2804 \times 70 = 280.

  2. Marks in the two subjects = 2×85=1702 \times 85 = 170.

  3. Average = 280+1706=4506=75\frac{280 + 170}{6} = \frac{450}{6} = 75.

Worth noting

77.5 averages the two averages as if both groups had the same number of subjects; 80 swaps the counts.
