Answer 1

your answer is D. 98
88*4=352
90*5=450
hence 450-352=98

Answer 2

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

The average marks of Shahid first four papers is 88.

Let a,b,c and d be the marks in first four papers

⇒
`(a+b+c+d)/(4)=88`

⇒ a+b+c+d=88×4

=352

Let marks in fifth paper be x

The average of five papers become 90

⇒
`(a+b+c+d+x)/(5)=90`

⇒ a+b+c+d+x=90×5

⇒ 352+x=450 (since a+b+c+d=352)

⇒ x=450-352

⇒ x=98

Hence, Correct option is:

d.98
