  • question_answer
    In a class of 100, students there are 70 boys whose average marks in a subject are 75. If the average marks of the complete class is 72, then what is the average of the girls?

    A)  73                                         

    B)  65

    C)  68                                         

    D)  74

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Since the total number students = 100 and the number of boys = 70 \[\therefore \] Number of girls = (100 - 70) = 30 Now, the total marks of 100 students \[=100\times 72=7200\] And total marks of 70 boys \[=70\times 75\,=5250\] \[\Rightarrow \] Total marks of 30 girls \[=7200-\,5250\,=1950\] \[\therefore \] Average marks of 30 girls \[=\frac{1950}{30}=65\]
