Correct Answer: 33
Solution : Total students = 70 Total girls = $\frac{70}{100}\times70=49$ Total boys = 70 – 49 = 21 Sum of marks of girls = 49 × 30 = 1470 Sum of marks of boys = 21 × 40 = 840 Sum of marks of the class = 1470 + 840 = 2310 Average of class = $\frac{\text{Sum of marks of the class}}{\text{Total Students}}$ = $\frac{2310}{70}=33$ Hence, the correct answer is 33.
