    A.

    30

    B.

    60

    C.

    40

    D.

    25

    Correct option is C

    Given:

    Class 1: Number of students: 100 , Mean marks: 25

    Class 2: Number of students: 50 , Mean marks: 70

    Formula used:

    Mean marks = Total marksTotal number of students\frac{Total\ marks}{Total \ number \ of \ students}

    Solution:

    Total marks for Class 1: 

    Total marks = 100 × 25 = 2500

    Total marks for Class 2:

    Total marks = 50 ×70 = 3500

    Combined Classes:

    Total number of students: 100 + 50 = 150

    Total marks: 2500 + 3500 = 6000

    Mean marks = Total marksTotal number of students\frac{Total\ marks}{Total \ number \ of \ students} = 6000150\frac{6000}{150} = 40

    ​The mean marks obtained by the students of both classes taken together is 40.

    Thus, correct answer is (c) 40
