Question:

There are 96 students in a class, out of which the number of girls is 40% more than that of the boys. The average score in mathematics of the boys is 40% more than the average score of girls. If the average score in mathematics of all the students is 63, then what is the average score of the girls in mathematics?

Options:

51

54

55

57

Correct Answer:

54

Explanation:

Ratio of girls to boys = 7 : 5

Number of girls = \(\frac{96}{12}\) × 7 = 56

Number of Boys = \(\frac{96}{12}\) × 5  = 40

Ratio of average score of Boys to Girls = 7 : 5

40 × 7R + 56 × 5R = 96 × 63

280R + 280R = 6048

R = 10.8

Average score of girls = 5R = 5 × 10.8 = 54
