- The total initial marks across the six subjects can be calculated by multiplying the average with the number of subjects: $6 \times 110 = 660$ .

- With the re-evaluation, the marks in one subject change from 148 to 112, a decrease of 36 marks.

- The new total marks become: $660 - 36 = 624$ .

- The new average is calculated by dividing the new total marks by the number of subjects: $624 \div 6 = 104$ .

- Option:1, 108 – This is incorrect because it reflects an increase in the average.

- Option:2, 104 – This is the correct answer and reflects a decrease based on the re-evaluated marks.

- Option:3, 106 – This assumes a lesser decrease that did not occur.

- Option:4, 102 – This shows a greater decrease than actually occurred.
