Correct Answer: 92.5


Solution : Given: 30 students had an average score of 95. The other students had an average score of 85.
The total score of 30 students = (95 × 30) = 2850
The total score of the other students = 85 × (40 – 30) = 850
$\therefore$ Average score of the whole class $=\frac{2850+850}{40}=\frac{3700}{40}=$ 92.5
Hence, the correct answer is 92.5.
