      Question

      In a school club, the ratio of juniors to seniors is

      3:2. The average score of all seniors is (x βˆ’ 2) and the average score of all members is (x + 4). What is the average score of juniors?
      A x + 8 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B x + 6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C x + 5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D x + 4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let number of juniors and seniors be '3a' and '2a', respectively.
      Total score of the club = 5a Γ— (x + 4) = 5ax + 20a
      Total score of seniors = 2a Γ— (x βˆ’ 2) = 2ax βˆ’ 4a
      So, total score of juniors = (5ax + 20a) βˆ’ (2ax βˆ’ 4a) = 3ax + 24a
      Therefore, average score of juniors = (3ax + 24a) / 3a = (x + 8)
