There are 100 students in a class, out of which 70% are girls and others are boys. The average score of girls in a test is 20% more than that of boys. If the average score of all the students is 57, then what is the average score of girls?
Given,Â
Total number of Students in a class = 100 (given)
Number of girls in class = 70 (70% of total)
Number of boys in class = 30
Average of class = 57Â
Let the average score of boys = x.
Average score of girls = 1.2x (20% more than average score of boys)
As we know,Â
$$Average=\frac{Sum\ of\ observation}{Number\ of\ observation}$$Â
According to question,Â
$$\therefore\ \frac{\left(1.2x\times\ 70+30\times\ x\right)}{100}=57$$
$$\therefore\ \left(114x\right)=5700$$
$$\therefore\ x=50$$
So, Average Score of girls = 1.2x = 1.2$$\times\ $$50 = 60
Hence, option A is correct.Â
