Sure! Let's break down the solution to determine which student obtained the highest mark, and at which index the highest mark is located.

1. Identify the List of Marks:
We are given marks obtained by 10 students as follows:
[tex]\[ [76, 49, 54, 88, 61, 68, 72, 93, 37, 70] \][/tex]

2. Determine the Highest Mark:
- To find the highest mark, we look through the list and identify the largest number. On inspecting the list, we can see that the highest mark is 93.

3. Find the Index of the Highest Mark:
- The index is the position of the mark in the array. In the given array, the mark of 93 is located at the 8th position (keeping in mind that array indexing starts from 0). Hence, the index of the highest mark 93 is 7.

To summarize:

- The index item that has the highest mark is 7.
- The highest mark obtained is 93.

Therefore, the detailed solution is:
- The highest mark is 93.
- This highest mark is located at index 7 in the array.
