AI explanation

The combined average percentage of 68.75 percent means their combined maximum marks are 275 divided by 0.6875, which equals 400. Since Kapil obtained 6 parts of the total 11 parts, his actual marks are 6 divided by 11 times 275, resulting in 150. Therefore, the percentage of marks obtained by Kapil is 150 divided by his individual maximum possible marks of 200, which gives 75 percent.
