- The average marks of 16 students reduce by 4. Original average = X. New average = X - 4.

- Total marks for 16 students originally: 16X.

- Total marks with new average: 16(X-4).

- Difference = Original topper's marks - New student's marks.

- Difference = 92 - New student's marks.

- 16X - 16(X-4) = 92 - New student's marks.

- 64 = 92 - New student's marks.

- New student's marks = 92 - 64 = 28.

- Option: 2 - 28 is the correct answer.
