Correct Answer:

110.2

Explanation:

   Ratio of                Boys              Girls

                               48               112

                                 3       :          7            = 10 ( sum of number of boys and girls )

  Average of            120                106

                           -----------------------------

  Total   =          120 × 3             106 × 7          

  Total   =             360                    742

                 

  Average  (combined) = \(\frac{360+ 742}{10}\) = 110.2
