A college gives back 40% of the fee to a student scoring 80% or more, and 25% of the fee to a student scoring at least 60% but below 80%. Anjali scored 372 out of 500 and pays a fee of ₹48,000. How much does she get back?

Step-by-Step Solution

First place her score: 372/500 = 74.4%, which is at least 60% but below 80%, so the 25% slab applies: 25% of 48,000 = ₹12,000. ₹19,200 is 40% of the fee, from mis-reading 74.4% as reaching the 80% mark - always test the score against the slab boundary before choosing a rate. ₹7,200 is 15% of the fee, the gap between the two slab rates. ₹0 assumes she qualifies for nothing, but 74.4% clears the 60% floor comfortably.
