Options:

15

75

90

81

Correct Answer:

75

Explanation:

 Ratio of no. of students

             Boys    :     Girls

                3      :       2

 Ratio of avg. score : 20% = \(\frac{1}{5}\)

Boys    :     Girls =   5R    :      6R

ATQ,

(3 × 5R) + (2 × 6R) = 5 × 81

                       27R = 5 × 81

                          R = 15

Avg  of boys = 5 × 15 = 75
