    D 99 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the number of girls = 2x.
    Thus, the number of boys = 3x. Total marks of boys = 3x ├Ч 95 = 285x
    Total marks of girls = 2x ├Ч 105 = 210x Total marks = 285x + 210x = 495x
    Total students = 2x + 3x = 5x Average = 495x ├╖ 5x = 99
