Given:

Score in physics= 8

Score in Chemistry= 8

Score in Biology= 6

Score in Interview= 6.5

Weightage assigned to Sonali in Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Interview= 2,3,3,4

Concept used:

Weighted average = ∑ (Score × Weightage)/∑ Weightage

Calculation:

Weighted average

= (2 × 8 + 3 × 8 + 3 × 6 + 4 × 6.5)/(2 + 3 + 3 + 4)

= (16 + 24 + 18 + 26)/(12) 

= 84/12

= 7

∴ The Required value is 7.
