      Question

      The ratio of number of boys to number of girls in a

      class is 2:3, respectively. The average marks of all the boys is (x βˆ’ 4) and the average marks of all the students in the class is (x + 2). Find the average marks of all the girls in the class.
      A x + 6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B x + 5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C x + 4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D x + 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E x + 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the number of boys and number of girls be '2a' and '3a', respectively.
      Total marks of the class = 5a Γ— (x + 2) = 5ax + 10a
      Total marks of all boys = 2a Γ— (x βˆ’ 4) = 2ax βˆ’ 8a
      So, total marks of all girls = (5ax + 10a) βˆ’ (2ax βˆ’ 8a) = 3ax + 18a
      Therefore, average marks of girls = (3ax + 18a) / 3a = (x + 6)
