Practicing Success
In a Physics test, the average marks of girls in a class is 40. If the average of first 20 girls is 50 and that of the remaining girls is 20, then total number of girls in the class is : |
30 40 25 45 |
30 |
Average marks of total girls = 40 Assume Total girls = x Total marks of all girls = 40x Average marks of First 20 girls = 50 Total marks of 20 girls = 50*20 = 1000 Remaining girls = x-20 Average marks of remaining girls = 20 Total marks of remaining girls = 20(x-20) = 20x - 400 Thus, 20x-400 + 1000 = 40x 20x = 600 x = 30 The correct answer is option (1) : 30 |
