Given:

Average of Kanchan's marks in 7 subjects = 75

Average in six subjects excluding Science = 72

Formula used:

Total marks in 7 subjects = Average × Number of subjects

Total marks in 6 subjects excluding Science = Average × Number of subjects

Calculation:

Total marks in 7 subjects = 75 × 7

⇒ 525

Total marks in 6 subjects excluding Science = 72 × 6

⇒ 432

Marks in Science = Total marks in 7 subjects - Total marks in 6 subjects

⇒ 525 - 432

⇒ 93

∴ The correct answer is option 1.
