      B 69 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 70 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 71 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 66 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the number of girls = 2x.
      Thus, the number of boys = 3x. Total marks of boys = 3x × 60 = 180x
      Total marks of girls = 2x × 75 = 150x Total marks = 180x + 150x = 330x
      Total students = 2x + 3x = 5x Average = 330x ÷ 5x = 66
