Question 107

In a class, there are 54 students. 33 $$\frac{1}{3}$$ % of the number of students are boys and rest are girls. The average score in mathematics of boys is 50% more than that of the girls. If the average score of all the students is 70, then what is the average score of the boys?

Solution

Number of student in class = 54 

number of boys = $$33\dfrac {1}{3}of student = \dfrac{100}{3\times 100} \times 54 = 18$$

then number of girls = 54-18 = 36 

Let Average score of girls =$$ 10x$$

and average score of boys =$$ \dfrac {10x \times150}{100} = 15x $$(according to question)   

average score of all student =  70 

total score of  54 = $$54 \times70 $$ =3780 

total score of boys = $$18\times 15x = 270x $$

total score of girls =$$36\times10x = 360x  $$

according question $$ 270x +360x =3780$$

$$\Rightarrow x = 6 $$

Average score boy = $$15\times$$ = 90 Ans.
