Given:

Total Marks = 80

Passing Marks = 32

Formula used:

Percentage = (Obtained Marks / Total Marks) × 100

Fraction of Total Marks = (Obtained Marks / Total Marks)

Calculation:

1) D, who got 12/19 of the total marks:

⇒ Obtained Marks = (12/19) × 80

⇒ Obtained Marks = 50.5

2) C, who got 160% of the passing marks:

⇒ Obtained Marks = (160/100) × 32

⇒ Obtained Marks = 51.2

3) A, who got 72% marks in the exam:

⇒ Obtained Marks = (72/100) × 80

⇒ Obtained Marks = 57.6

4) B, who got 7/11 of the total marks:

⇒ Obtained Marks = (7/11) × 80

⇒ Obtained Marks = 50.9

∴ The correct answer is option 1.
