\nThe correct answer is D) 90.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe total number of questions in the test is 150. Neha wants to score 60% in the entire test, which means she needs to answer 60% of 150 questions correctly.
\nTotal correct answers required = 0.60 * 150 = 90.
\nIn the first 90 questions, she answered 40% correctly.
\nNumber of correct answers in the first 90 questions = 0.40 * 90 = 36.
\nThe number of remaining questions is 150 – 90 = 60.
\nTo achieve a total of 90 correct answers, she needs an additional 90 – 36 = 54 correct answers from the remaining 60 questions.
\nThe percentage of correct answers needed from the remaining 60 questions is (Number of correct answers needed \/ Total remaining questions) * 100.
\nPercentage = (54 \/ 60) * 100 = (9 \/ 10) * 100 = 90%.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThis is a basic percentage calculation problem involving weighted averages implicitly. The overall percentage is a weighted average of percentages in segments of the test.
