Question:

In a class of 60 students, 40% are girls. The average of the girls marks is 45 and that of the boys is 75. What are the average marks of the whole class?

Options:

65

70

68

63

Correct Answer:

63

Explanation:

  Ratio ⇒ Boys     :         Girls

                3        :          2

 Avg marks of class = \(\frac{3 × 75 + 2 × 45}{3 + 2}\)

                            = \(\frac{225 + 90}{5}\) = \(\frac{315}{5}\)  = 63
