Question

In a class, the total number of boys and girls is 90. The number of boys is 10 more than the number of girls.In a test, the average score of boys is 30% more than that of girls. If the average score ofall the boys andgirls is 63, then what is the average score of girls?

A.

54

B.

56

C.

60

D.

50

Correct option is A

Given :

Total number of students = 90
Number of boys is 10 more than number of girls

Formula Used :
Combined Average=(n1×A1)+(n2×A2)n1+n2\text{Combined Average} = \frac{(n_1 \times A_1) + (n_2 \times A_2)}{n_1 + n_2}​​
Solution :

Let number of girls = g
Number of boys = g + 10

g + (g + 10) = 90

2g = 80

g = 40

So,
Girls = 40
Boys = 50

Let average score of girls = x

Average score of boys = (30%) more than girls
= 1.3x

Total average = 63

40x+50(1.3x)90\frac{40x + 50(1.3x)}{90} ​= 63

40x + 65x = 5670

105x = 5670

x = 54
Average score of girls = 54
