The difference between the average number of students passed from school R in 2015 to 2017 and the number of students passed from school Q in 2015 is x. The value of x lies between:

Options:

20 and 25

35 and 40

30 and 35

25 and 30

Correct Answer:

30 and 35

Explanation:

Average number of students passed from school R in 2015 to 2017

=  \(\frac{285 +  288 + 294 }{3}\)

=  \(\frac{867}{3}\)

 = 289

Number of students passed from Q in 2015 = 320

x = 320 - 289 = 37

Ans:- 30 and 35
