The number of students in classes A and B are 60 and 70, respectively. The average score in mathematics of students in class B is 57 and that of all students in classes A and B is 63. What is the average score of students in class A?
Given that the average score of students in class B is 57
and no. of students in class B is 70
therefore,sum of total marks of students in class BÂ is 70$$\times\ $$57=3990.
Given that the average score of all students in classes A and B is 63
i.e;total sum of scores/130 =63
sum of scores in A and B =8190
to know the average score in class A =Â (8190-3990)/60 = 4200/60 (60 since number of students in class A is 60)
i.e;70
hence answer is 70
