Question:

Two classes M and N have average marks 25 and 40 respectively, the overall average obtained is 30. The ratio of the students in the class M and N is:

Options:

2 : 1

5 : 6

1 : 2

5 : 3

Correct Answer:

2 : 1

Explanation:

Let sum of marks of class M = 25m

Sum of marks of class N = 40n

According to question ,

\(\frac{25m + 40n }{m + n }\) = 30

25m + 40n = 30 m + 30n

5m = 10n

Ratio of students in class M to class N = 2 : 1
