None of these Please give me a detailed solution as I am getting 35 as answer but the right answer is D according to the answer key.

Total of first $$x$$ observations => 30$$x$$

Total of second $$x$$ observations => 33$$x$$

Total of third $$x$$ observations => 42$$x$$

Number of Observations => ( $$x$$ + $$x$$ + $$x$$ ) = 3$$x$$

Average of all Observations => $$\frac{30$$x$$+33$$x$$+42$$x$$}{3$$x$$}$$ = $$\frac{105}{3}$$ = $$35$$

Please check whether the key is correct

Cheers!! :)

sum of first x observations 3Ox similarly sum of other x observations is 33x and 42x average=(30x+33x+42x)/3x on solving u will get 35 as the answer hence b is the answer
