    Question

    The average marks of all the students decreased by 5

    when it was found that marks of one of the students were wrongly taken as 95 instead of 45. Find the total number of students.
    A 8 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 10 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 15 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 12 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let number of students be 'N' and sum of marks of all the students be 'S'. ATQ: We have, (S−95+45)/N = (S/N) - 5 Or, (S/N) - (S−50)/N = 5 Or, (50/N) = 5 So, 'N' = (50 / 5) = 10 Therefore, total number of students are 10.
