    A school has four sections in a class X having 40, 35, 45 and 42 students. The mean marks obtained in a Chemistry test are 50, 60, 55 and 45, respectively for the four sections. Then, the overall average of the marks per student is

    A)  51.75              

    B)  51.95   

    C)  52.25

    D)  52.75

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Here, \[{{n}_{1}}=40,\]\[{{n}_{2}}=35,\]\[{{n}_{3}}=45\]and \[{{n}_{4}}=42\] \[{{\bar{x}}_{1}}=50,\]\[{{\bar{x}}_{2}}=60,\]\[{{\bar{x}}_{3}}=55,\]and \[{{\bar{x}}_{4}}=45,\] \[\therefore \] \[\bar{X}=\frac{{{n}_{1}}{{{\bar{x}}}_{1}}+{{n}_{2}}{{{\bar{x}}}_{2}}+{{n}_{3}}{{{\bar{x}}}_{3}}+{{n}_{4}}{{{\bar{x}}}_{4}}}{{{n}_{1}}+{{n}_{2}}+{{n}_{3}}+{{n}_{4}}}\]                         \[=\frac{40\times 50+35\times 60+45\times 55+42\times 45}{40+35+45+42}\]                         \[=\frac{2000+2100+2475+1890}{162}\]                         \[=\frac{8465}{162}=52.25\] \[\therefore \]Overall average of marks per student =52.25
